Compiz 0.8.4 can be build with the old 12.2 scripts. They was removed for 13.0 as it seems to be unmaintained. I hope someone can 'adopt' it soon =]

Really pasting all that shitload of text was a very bad idea...

Instead of pasting a shitload of scripts in your two posts, you could have simply provided the URLs that point to their original location on http://slackbuilds.org/

Now the shitload of links =]

You can forget about Gnome's dependencies.

Not quite exactly... Those scripts, indeed, are able to build compiz for 32-bit system, but not for 64-bit. For Slack64 You must change the default libdir path. So all these scripts need to be rewritten before use
And if You have KDE4, compiz could not use kconfig backend (if You try to build this backend, it will fail). You'll need basic backend, or use gconf-backend, but this goes to gnome dependencies deathmatch

Yes, I'm using 'kde3-compat' libs to run the old k3b and used this flags to build the kconfig backend:

It worked.

Hmm... Does it work with KDE4? Without any issue??
It uses KDE3 libraries to work with KDE4... Strange...

Work here with 4.3.2.

Hey guys I wasn't sure if it would be better to start a new thread or post in one that ended over a month ago... Anyway, I've been searching around and trying to get compiz fusion to work on my Slackware 13 installation. I've completed all the installations that were provided by another thread.

I can get the compiz settings manager to open up so that I can see all the options to choose from and am sure that it more than likely installed correctly, however, whenever I either click on the fusion-icon or go through the terminal it will flash black for a second as it changes and then all the top right exit buttons on my windows disappear and everything moves at a crawl even without any settings active.

When I run: compiz --replace ini decoration & kde-window-decorator & in the terminal, it gives this output:

compiz --replace ini decoration & kde-window-decorator &
[1] 5124
bash: kde-window-decorator: command not found
[2] 5125
[2]+ Exit 127 kde-window-decorator

I've also tried to run it in GNOME, but when I start GNOME it says that my power manager wasn't installed correctly. I've removepkg and installpkg the power manager but it still won't seem to work...

Anyway, thanks for any help, you guys have been great! It is also worth noting that I'm using a an integrated graphics card (ugh) that my be the whole problem in the first place. The GPU is an intel GM965/GL960 which I've already installed the linux driver for it with "xserver-xorg-video-intell_2.9.1.orig.tar.gz" as I found through various searching. Does it look like this would work at all? It seems people are pretty dead set on NVidia.

I don't have intel integrated card, but it sounds like from the symptoms you described that 3d acceleration isn't enabled. Have you checked that?

First, if you have all the compiz-fusion components installed, and are configuring compiz via ccsm (the compiz settings manager) you should be starting compiz with the ccp plugin. You also likely want to be using indirect rendering:

$ compiz --replace --indirect-rendering ccp &

Second, you don't have kde-window-decorator installed. Unless you have KDE3 installed, this is normal. You probably want kde4-window-decorator. Check to see if it's installed and, if so, add it to the "Command" field in the window decoration plugin in ccsm. Then you won't need to run it manually, it will be started with compiz.

Third, do *not* run X, compiz, or any window manager as root. Why would you even think to do that? :-)

Is there some reason you downloaded and installed that driver rather than using the intel driver that comes with Slackware 13.0? compiz works just fine on most intel GPUs, and I have it working on Slackware 13.0 on my 915GM. Your 965 is certainly capable of running compiz, but I'd be worried that you actually broke your drivers by installing some 3rd party package.

If compiz continues to give you problems, please show us the output of the compiz command I gave above, as well as the output of 'glxinfo'.

Adam

Thanks guys for responding so quickly! I ran what you wrote for me and this is what pulled up:

dranomax@Dranomax:~$ compiz --replace --indirect-rendering ccp &
[1] 4611
dranomax@Dranomax:~$ compiz (core) - Error: Plugin 'core' has ABI version '20080828', expected ABI version '20090207'.

compiz (ccp) - Error: InitObject failed
compiz (core) - Error: Couldn't activate plugin 'ccp'


The good new is this time my computer didn't slow to a crawl like last time, however the windows are now unmovable as well as not capable of resizing or closing. I'm not sure how to check whether my 3D acceleration is enabled.

I'm not sure if this is what you wanted (or even if this is how to do it) but when I pico /usr/bin/glxinfo, it gives me:

Sorry it looks so messy...I'm not sure if this is how it's supposed to look..

Ha ha ya, I forgot to change back to user before hand and then attempted to edit that out after I'd posted it here. Forgot to change the # to $ though...

At least it isn't freezing anymore though, so I feel like we're one step closer! Thanks again for the help!

No, you were supposed to run 'glxinfo' in a terminal. It's a command to run, not a file to open :-)

Another serious issue you have is that you have mismatched versions of the compiz packages installed. Exactly what directions did you follow to install compiz?

Adam

Oh ha ha ok, I'll run that in a sec. I followed these directions: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...fusion-752803/ . The problem might be that after the first time that I installed them and didn't work, I tried to remove it all and then try again. That might be causing it, I'm not sure. The only packages for compiz that I've downloaded were from what this gentleman provided.

Edit: Nevermind, has already been mentioned.
