Install Compiz Fusion with mintInstall & working Emerald

[merlwiz79]

Two things I didn't fully understand:

Open Berly Manager and change any settings you normally have to change to run Compiz

As I have no experience running Compiz (only CF), I don't normally do anything here. What SHOULD I do to run Compiz?

You need to enable the Rotate Cube and then Click Enable Cube to get it to work

I just cannot find any Enable Cube to click.

The 1st one is for you to have the drivers and xorg.conf for you machine set up to use 3d acceleration.

To enable the Rotate Cube plugin you need to open CompizConfig Settings Manager and Check the box next to the plugin name.

You may also want to enable Viewport Mouse Switch to use the Scroll Wheel on the Mouse to switch Desktops.

I have added a fix for getting Emerald to work.
