 +====== Getting Compiz to function in default Xandros ======
  
 + Warning** i take no responsibility for you screwing up your computer: proceed at your own risk
 +
 + Note** IF you really want all the glory of compiz-fusion i would suggest simply moving on to the eeeXubuntu OS, more support and useability.\\ 
 + That said, here's how to get what you want:
 + 
 + Install advanced desktop via the wiki info
 +
 + Used information from\\  
 + http://technowizah.com/2006/10/debian-how-to-aiglx-compiz.html
 +
 +and
 +
 + http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=6245
 +
 +===== Pre-install =====
 +
 +A few changes have to be made to the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
 +
 +In Section "Module", make sure you have
 +
 +   Load   "dbe"
 +
 +
 +in first position.
 +
 +In Section "Device", ensure you have
 +
 +   Option   "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps"   "true"
 +
 +
 +in last position. Plus, if you don't already have a Section "Extensions", add one somewhere (still in your xorg.conf) :
 +
 +Section   "Extensions"
 +   Option   "Composite"   "Enable"
 +EndSection
 +
 +
 +AIGLX is integrated in the X server. Also, it should get loaded automatically. Ensure that it does :
 +
 +cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep -i aiglx
 +
 +
 +which should say (==) AIGLX enabled (with a bunch of errors after that). If it doesn't get loaded, you can force it by adding :
 +
 +   Option   "AIGLX"   "true"
 +
 +
 +to Section "ServerLayout" of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
 +
 +
 +===== Compiz =====
 +
 +
 +Compiz's installation is quite straight forward. First install the required packages :
 +
 +sudo apt-get install compiz
 +
 +
 +
 +Then, add Compiz to your desktop environment (Gnome, KDE, or Xfce) startup script:
 +
 +Simply create a file "kwrite /home/user/.kde/Autostart/compiz.desktop" with this content :
 +
 +[Desktop Entry]\\ 
 +Encoding=UTF-8\\ 
 +Exec=compiz --replace gconf & kde-window-decorator &\\ 
 +GenericName[en_US]=\\ 
 +StartupNotify=false\\ 
 +Terminal=false\\ 
 +TerminalOptions=\\ 
 +Type=Application\\ 
 +X-KDE-autostart-after=kdesktop\\ 
 +
 +
 +Restart the X server (Ctrl+Alt+backspace)\\ 
 +
 +Now - install gconf to change settings:\\ 
 +
 +sudo apt-get install gconf-editor\\ 
 +
 +(with extra repositories and pinning as discussed in the wiki)\\ 
 +
 +let it finish, then type in:\\ 
 +
 +gconf-editor &\\ 
 +
 +go through the logical progression (apps/compiz/general/allscreens/options)\\ 
 +scroll to the shortcut for maximize vertically and change from Disabled to:\\ 
 +
 +<Alt>F10\\ 
 +
 +now this should take effect immediately, so alt+F10 to bring the windows to size
 +
 +
 +--------------
 +
 +==== No window decorator? ====
 +
 +
 +At this point you might find that none of your windows have a window decorator (ie title bar). This can be solved as follows (with thanks to Forum member Ravexildow):
 +
 +=== The Reason: ===
 +
 +
 +When trying to run compiz in the terminal you get a trace that you can read to see what the program is trying to do.  I won't quote it here because I'm too lazy to reproduce it.  However, it basically is saying that the gtk-window-decorator has caused a problem with the X server because it couldn't load the .xml file it pointed to during launch.
 +
 +This is the case because, for some reason, the gtk-window-decorator is looking for an .xml file in ''/usr/share/themes/Clearlooks/metacity-1/'' even though this folder does not exist at all when you install Compiz.  Wierd I know, but since you installed Compiz-gnome it expected it.
 +
 +=== The Solution: ===
 +
 +It's dirty but it works.  Simply download any metacity theme of your liking (from [[http://gnome-look.org|gnome-look.org]] -- I particularly like "Blended") and copy the contents of the theme folder into ''/usr/share/themes/Clearlooks/'' and restart Compiz.  It will correctly load whatever metacity theme you put in that folder.
