No windown decoration with compiz-fusion

When I try and change the window manager from openbox to compiz-fusion I get this error.

 * Detected Session: gnome
 * Searching for installed applications...
 * Using the GTK Interface
 * Decorator "" is invalid.
 * Setting decorator to GTK Window Decorator ("gtk-window-decorator --replace")
 * Openbox is already running
 * Setting window manager to Compiz
 ... executing: compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp
compiz (core) - Fatal: No GLXFBConfig for default depth, this isn't going to work.
compiz (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0
compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0
 * Setting window manager to Openbox

I am using the open source ATI drivers.
Any ideas?

You should open Compiz Config Settings Manager and activate what you want there

Are you trying to use Emerald? And did it install?

Re: No windown decoration with compiz-fusion

setting depth to 24 in xorg.conf did the trick for me

DefaultDepth    24

Re: No windown decoration with compiz-fusion

does it run if you write this in your .xinitrc?

#~/.xinitrc
exec compiz ccp

If so, maybe you're just not calling it the right way. If not, there's another problem (everyone has problems with compiz!)

Re: No windown decoration with compiz-fusion

I'm having the same problem.  I have Emerald installed and my DefaultDepth is already set to 24.  Here's the error I'm getting:

$ fusion-icon
 * Detected Session: unknown
 * Searching for installed applications...
 * NVIDIA on Xorg detected, exporting: __GL_YIELD=NOTHING
 * Using the GTK Interface
 * Starting Compiz
 ... executing: compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp

compiz (core) - Info: Couldn't bind redirected window 0x1c0001e to texture

Those last few lines pretty much go on forever.

Here are the pertinent lines from /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Screen0"
    Device         "Card0"
    Monitor        "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth    24
    SubSection     "Display"
        Viewport    0 0
        Depth       24
        Modes      "1024x800"
    EndSubSection
EndSection

Any help would be incredible.

Never mind.  Found the solution on the Compiz forum.
