How does one enable 3D effect once Compiz is installed

[flowersrj]

Hi,

I installed Compiz with Apt-Get but do not know how to turn it on. Can anyone provide a roadmap?

Thanks,
Rich

Try opening the terminal and typing in compiz

Unholey Moley,

Thanks but then I get the following...

/usr/bin/compiz.real: No composite extension
/usr/bin/compiz 47: metacity: not found

Open up the terminal and type in
glxinfo
and copy/paste the info here. Then open up /etc/X11/xorg.conf (case matters) and paste the contents here.

Yeah, I'm having the same problem. Here's what I have:

ctt1wbw@WaynesWorld:~$ glxinfo | grep direct
direct rendering: Yes
ctt1wbw@WaynesWorld:~$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf

# /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)

# Edit this file with caution, and see the /etc/X11/xorg.conf manual page.
