compiz

[mtz29]

Hi everyone.

Some time ago I downloaded bt3 ISO (cd version). I downloaded also kernel source to install nvidia driver (my car is Geforce4 mx 440).

After that I installed compiz, then run compiz and nothing I have not window decorations. My xorg.conf is properly configured, I read bugs on the backtrack wiki, but nothing.

# compiz --replace & emerald --replace &

What shoud I do ?

are you sure you have window decorations checked in the menu?

[mtz29]

I think so that yes.

Any sugestions ?

There should be two lines on the wiki that you need to add along with the navidia module. Then restart x with control-alt-backspace. If that doesnt work let us know. Unfortunately I do not have a navidia card so I can't test it.

As I wrote I read wiki and I did it.

So whats wrong ?

//edit

# compiz --indirect-rendering --replace --use-cow png svg decoration wobbly fade move resize minimize cube rotate switcher screenshot cale place zoom dbus & kde-window-decorator --replace &

I snagged the cubez.lzm file from the usb stick and did

lzm2dir cubez.lzm /

that gave me back Compiz!
