compiz windows decoration disappear

SilvioTO · 2008-06-09 10:19:34

Using gnome as window manager, I installed compiz from wiki http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Compiz
I don't installed compiz-decorator-kde (only variant)
When start compiz-manager window title bar and borders disappear...
I'm check for a solution herehttp://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Com … leshooting and specific http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Com … E_fallback with no luck: my .gconf folder seems not contain any files or folders with "compiz" in the name.

My video card from lpci command: VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G72M [Quadro NVS 110M/GeForce Go 7300] (rev a1) on Toshiba notebook.

Console output:

$ compiz-manager
Checking for Xgl: not present.
Detected PCI ID for VGA: 01:00.0 0300: 10de:01d7 (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])

Hey Silvio,

as far as I know, you should install compiz fusion, see here: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Compiz_Fusion.
The wiki you mentioned is deprecated, I think.

With compiz fusion all ok...
Only a small thing: a better way to start compiz fusion at system startup? With "System->preference->session in gnome is a little slow, because first load at normal way, then load compiz fusion.

Thanks a lot.

Do you start gnome with .xinitrc?
If so, you could try putting 'fusion icon &' in your .xinitrc before the 'exec gnome-session'.

Ok, I'll try, thanks

I did my compiz-fusion install with the wiki mentioned above. But as soon as i launch gnome (im using GDM) my window borders disappear.

I have EEE 901 with Intel GMA945.

I have tried to hints at the wiki but with no luck
