Here are some decent instructions on installing compiz 0.8.2 from source:

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...fusion-752803/

As for your xorg.conf file, you probably don't need one at all. What is the output of 'glxinfo' ?

glxinfo gives this :

thanksfor the link i followed it but some dep just dont install like libcompizconfig

and other plugins

adamk75 · 09-20-2009, 08:01 AM

Your Xorg should be able to run compiz just fine.

If you tell us what errors you received when you tried to install libcompizconfig or those other plugins, we might be able to help.

Hi,

I have just installed compiz+emerald 0.8.2 on my Lenovo T61 with Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 on board. Everything works perfectly and fast.
Have you managed it or still looking for advices?

fridash · 09-29-2009, 03:36 PM

no i havent got it to work yet can you give me some advise ??

did you remove the compiz that is allready on board ??

did you use src2pkg on the source files ??

what DEP did you install ??

~sHyLoCk~ · 09-29-2009, 08:14 PM

Hi you can even try prebuilt packages from slackfind.net

BrZ · 09-29-2009, 09:10 PM

you can try to find the error log or decompress the archive, move in and do the ./configure --incantations by hand to see what is missing. this script worked here (pure 64). see the readme.

Hi,

1. yes I have removed compiz which was on board.

2. I have downloaded slackbuild scripts for 12.2 changed version and compiled it as 0.8.2. They are attached for your convenience already updated to 0.8.2. (I have not used src2pkd)

3. Install these DEPs before compiling everything: (I used slapt-get and slacky.eu as an repository, but you can download them manually if you don't use slapt-get)

- gconftool2
- orbit2
- policykit

4. Compile and install everything in this order (compiz team recomendation):

compiz
bcop
libcompizconfig
compizconfig-python
ccsm
compiz-fusion-plugins-main (it must be built before plugins-extra as it contains necessary header files)
everything else

4. Main trick is to enable compiz correctly (applies only for intel GEM cards like i965). You should go System settings -> Default applications. Then go to window manager and choose to run compiz using a wrapper script.

5. Create the script /usr/bin/compiz-kde-launcher:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 INTEL_BATCH=1 compiz --replace --indirect-rendering --sm-disable ccp &
emerald --replace&

Then everything should work.

why policykit?

I didn't investigate that topic. It is spapt-get resolved the dependencies that way. I believe gconf requires it.

BrZ · 10-01-2009, 09:20 AM

No problems, I just think mine was built without. Thanks for the scripts.

A simple way is to use pkgtool. Run it, select remove menu, find your compiz package and remove.
Other option is to run ls /var/log/packages | grep compiz. Copy the package name and type removepkg <package_name>.

As to dependencies, I have neither deleted them nor searched even. Just remove compiz and install what I mention in the post above.
