compiz

[computador]

Hello
I tried to install compiz but I have some questions on what packages to install.
In the guide that I found there are this packages


compiz
compiz-bcop
compiz-core
compiz-fusion-plugins-extra
compiz-fusion-plugins-main
compiz-kde
compiz-plugins compizconfig-settings-manager
emerald
libcompizconfig-backend-kconfig
libcompizconfig0
libdecoration0
libemeraldengine0 python-compizconfig


I tried to install but in my ccsm (compiz-plugins compizconfig-settings-manager ) the icons are missing.

I'd like to now if it's enough install compiz-kde instead of install compiz(I think it's for gnome) too.

Re: compiz

I just checked, in my Hardy Heron/KDE4 system, comparing to your list, I have these:

compiz
compiz-bcop
compiz-core
compiz-fusion-plugins-extra
compiz-fusion-plugins-main
compiz-kde
compiz-plugins
compizconfig-settings-manager
emerald
libcompizconfig0
libdecoration0
libemeraldengine0
pythoncompizconfig

but also these that are not on your list:

compiz-dev
compiz-gnome
compiz-backend-gconf
compiz-backend-kconfig

and I do not have this one:

libcompizconfig-backend-kconfig

For fun, I marked it for installation, but Adept gave me an "error committing changes" so it was not installed. Compiz works fine without it, on my system.


By the way, I did not need to deliberately install the libxxx or the python packages -- they were pulled in automatically when I marked the compiz and emerald packages.

Make sure your driver will run glxgears first.
