compiz desktop zoom broken?
I really miss compiz's zoom feature. <super> <scroll mouse>. It's my favorite compiz feature. Is anyone else having trouble with LMDE 64 Mint 13? I can't figure out if there is conflict, or what. I've disabled everything in compiz to just try the zoom, and it won't work. I'm questioning if I even know what I am doing (obviously not). So, I've been trying various zooms to get _any_ to work. No luck.

?? Its either Mint 13 (Ubuntu based), or LMDE(Debian based)..??
Compiz only works with XFCE or Mate desktops, not Cinnamon or Gnome-Shell.
Do you have the right one checked (there are two). One for the actual desktop to zoom.
(It works for me on LMDE/XFCE)
This one.

And the one two lines down that actually zooms the desktop cube.
EDIT:
Sorry, I was wrong on that one.... ...
They both seem to work on zooming the desktop.

About compiz, so moving topic here.
Re: compiz desktop zoom broken?
Sorry, I am running LMDE 64-- the Debian version. I had XFCE running on here, but it didn't work well with AMD Catalyst control centre for my video card. I still can't get my dual monitors to work as I like, but I will make a separate post on that issue another time.
I would like to the get Compiz Zoom to work. I'm getting a weird bug. Yes, I'm running in MATE, and I'm glad to learn there is a difference between Cinnamon and MATE regarding the Zoom feature.
Now, when I activate the Zoom, and reload the Window Manager. My mouse scrolls off my main screen to the left. Luckily my second monitor is on the left and I can get access to Compiz on there (after ctrl F4 to close the Settings Manager on the first monitor) So, I disable the zoom feature and can use my mouse again on my main screen. Weird, huh?
Anyway, the Zoom doesn't work in Mate. Do you all recommend I give XFCE another try to see if the issues will be corrected?
