Xorg Server Configuration
2
=========================
4
In order for compiz to work you need to add the following to you server
5
configuration file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf):
7
+ Enable the composite extension: locate the section named "Extensions" and
8
add the following line:
10
Option "Composite" "enable"
12
If there is no section "Extensions" yet, you should add one that looks
16
Option "Composite" "enable"
19
+ Make XAA not hold any pixmaps in offscreen memory. This slows down compiz
20
in many configurations. You can disable this by adding the following line
21
to your "Device" section:
23
Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"
25
Now restart your X server and login to your favorite session. After the
26
session has loaded completely, open a terminal window and type the following
31
Which will start compiz, make it replace the current window manager and
32
background the process so you can safely close the terminal again. If all went
33
well, compiz should start up and enable a whole bunch of desktop effects.
