Talk:Compiz

Autostrat Xfce4
There are some alternative methods which avoid first starting xfwm only to replace it with compiz described on the Arch Linux wiki. These should probably be described here too (wasn't sure about chucking them straight in as I didn't want to tread on anyone's toes).

Autostart GNOME
It is not clear how to configure the autostart with Gnome and INTEL GMA. In my case, I've tried the following: In gconf, I've set the window manager option to nothing and I've made a little script to start compiz with all the options and variables. Then I just run the script in the startup programs.

I don't know if this is the best way to do it, but it is working great.

Outdated USE flags
I did "emerge -pv libX11" to make sure that it was compiled with xcb as the guide suggested. But this flag doesn't exist on that package.

compiz-fusion is now in official portage tree.
I've recently done a fresh install (August 2011) using an x86_64 system and gentoo-2.6.29

I read the wiki but did an emerge --search compiz-fusion anyway to see if it was there

so I wouldn't have to use an overlay. It was.

Some of the packages are masked and are in the testing branch. I don't know enough about

gentoo yet so I don't think that I would be able to edit the wiki in such a way that it

would be understood by others.
