Compiz Fusion no borders issue help needed

lavs23 · 2007-08-16 13:51:31

I'm trying to get compiz fusion to work on my new arch linux distribution. I've got KDE up and running and it's working great. I followed the wiki article to get compiz fusion to work and I've had fusion working under Kubuntu and PCLOS. Any help would be much appreciated.

Here's my xorg.conf file, I've got AddARGBGLXVisuals true and Default Depth set to 24 with composite extension.

Any ideas?

EDIT: Compiz is running, I can move the windows with Alt. When I run compiz --replace in terminal there is no output.

Did you install correct version of emerald? Maybe you have old one from previous beryl release.

lavs23 · 2007-08-16 16:04:03

I wouldn't think so because this was a fresh install of Arch Linux and I haven't put beryl on there but you might be right. Just to test I completely uninstalled compiz-fusion and installed beryl which seems to work just fine. So either I had the wrong version of emerald because pacman took the file from extra instead of the compiz-fusion repo or compiz-fusion-git was buggy and didn't work. I tried to reinstall compiz-fusion but I was getting server errors. I'll try to install compiz-fusion-git again later today. Beryl is working for me now though. Thanks for the help.

For me, Windows Decorations was not checked. Once I did that I had borders. Then I had to Windows Management section to activate Move Window and Resize Window. You can tweak it from there.

Note: Compiz basic plugins are not enabled by default. You should enable "Move Window", "Resize Window", and "Window decoration" plugins in settings manager from fusion-icon to have a usable window manager.
