No compiz effects on Maya x64
I have Maya on a Lenovo Thinkpad T61 which has Nvidia Quadro NVS 140M graphics. I have tried to enable some eye candy but to no avail. All new Linux distros will not enable this graphics card at all, Suse 12.1, Ubuntu 12.4, Mint 13 and Ultimate 3.4 will not let me have any eye candy. Earlier distros are good, Suse 11.4, Mint 11, all fine.
How can i get some eye candy people?

Re: No compiz effects on Maya x64
Thanks for that zerozero, but I am not sure what you mean about the command Gx5xxx, do you mean my graphics card is an Nvidia GT5200 one? It is a G86 one, or am i missing something? I am not up to speed with the command line.
Re: No compiz effects on Maya x64
on the second step just copy&past the code into the terminal (it's a capital S not a 5 (five) )

Re: No compiz effects on Maya x64
I must be rather stupid, I have no idea what you mean. Where do you get this Gx5xxx code from? What is it?

Re: No compiz effects on Maya x64
cos667,
just for reference you shouldn't use inxi as root (unless you are updating it with the inxi -U flag because the results are not the same)
but even so we have the information we need: you are using cinnamon and compiz is not compatible with it.
cinnamon has some built-in effects but if you really want/need compiz you should try mate.

Re: No compiz effects on Maya x64
Hi,
thanks for the info.
From what i read on the forum i would prefer to stick with cinnamon, for stability, and the attention given to it by the Linux Mint team.
But nevertheless it would be nice to have this effect on cinnamon, in the future.

Re: No compiz effects on Maya x64
This is a little old, but you could try KDE. Very similar to Compiz. Has wobbly windows, desktop cube, exploding windows etc. I thought you may be concentrating on Compiz and not realize KDE was very similar. I am running Mint 13 KDE 64 bit with KDE upgraded to 4.9.0. It all work fine.
Re: No compiz effects on Maya x64
zerozero, that was the hint i've been looking for wondering why whatever i try to set in compizconfig-settings-manager these settings seem to get entirely ignored.zerozero wrote:...you are using cinnamon and compiz is not compatible with it.

in my case,

so it would be interesting for me to understand better what cinnamon does here; is it using compiz at all but with like frozen settings? i assume there is no way of configuring effects/setting cinnamon uses (e.g. change key-combinations or animation speeds)? i'd be fine with managing such settings through config-files or the like but i havent found the right switches so far as it seems.
any hints?
one thing i miss in particular is the 'enhanced zoom desktop' for instance which helps a lot when needing to work on pixel-level...

Re: No compiz effects on Maya x64
hi antiplex,
first rule if you are using cinnamon just run away from anything compiz-related as far as you can muffin (cinnamon's wm) doesn't play well at all with compiz.
cinnamon 1.6.1 is now available in maya through romeo http://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=2177, 1.6.3 is atm tagged to nadia but will be backported to maya and lmde as well (this version or the current at the time)

this i believe that you have to change in system settings > keyboard for now but in 1.6.3 you'll have a section in cinnamon settings https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/i ... nt-9638827antiplex wrote:(e.g. change key-combinations
