Hi dears!
I've just successfully installed compiz-fusion with the following command:
pacman -S compiz-fusion
I wasn't given any errors.
But unfortunately, i can't launch it. When I write fusion-icon, i am given this:
* Detected Session: kde
* Searching for installed applications...
* No GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap with direct rendering context
... nor with indirect rendering, this isn't going to work!

Any advices? I guess there are some problems with NVidia drivers or X configuration
Thanks in advance for your help

Hello,
as far as I can see, you don't have Direct Rendering activated.
* No GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap with direct rendering context
... nor with indirect rendering, this isn't going to work!
Can you please give us the result of the following command?
glxinfo | grep Direct
If this command states Direct Rendering: No we first have to set up 3D-Acceleration.
In addition, please provide us your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Best regards

first of all you are running vesa as a graphics driver which means you cant have flashy graphics what graphics card do you have?

lspci | grep VGA command gives me this text:

then you have to install the nvidia drivers on your computer:
pacman -S nvidia nvidia-utils should do it i belive
then you might want to look at this page:

I've just installed NVIDIA drivers using command you gave me but fusion-icon still doesn't work. Maybe there are more steps which are haven't done by me?

Can you please tell us, what exactly you have done, what errors occur when you run fusion-icon and what changes you've made in your xorg.conf?

did you read:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA
because if you do and follow the instructions then everything should work fine
im not going to hold your hand every step of the way
pheon im fairly certain that the same error that happened last time for him happened this time because he is running xorg with vesa driver and just installing nvidia drivers will not magically change everything

Well, sorry guys but i'm afraid, i haven't read it yet Just wrote pacman -S nvidia nvidia-utils
I thought that it wasn't necessary
So I will follow all instructions given in the link this evening and write was it successful or not.

It seems to me that you need some kind of list, what to do:
1.) install nvidia-drivers
2.) configure your X-Server to use those new drivers
3.) get 3D-Acceleration to work
Instructions how to do this: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA
4.) Enable Composite in your X-Config
Instructions how to do this: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Composite
5.) install and configure compiz-fusion
Instructions how to do this: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Compiz
It is essential that you read the entire articles (besides the ati-related stuff )
If you need help with one of the steps, feel free to ask, but include as many (relevant) information in your post, as you can.
Best regards
