Squeeze.GNOME. Correct compiz configuration.
Hello, list!
Please, help to install and configure compiz manager correctly for
Debian Squeeze.
Googling got me some recommendations, kinda:
1. Open a terminal and type sudo su
2. Type gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
3. Add the following option under Section "ServerLayout"
Option "AIGLX" "true"
4. Add the following options under Section "Device"
Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true"
Option "RenderAccel" "true"
5. Add the following options under Section "Screen"
Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps"
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "true"
6. Add the following lines to the end of the file
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection
But the is no such file:
# ls -la /etc/X11/
total 52

What is the modern and correct way to accomplish a compiz
implementation into Squeeze?
Hardware:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon
Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500]
Subsystem: IBM Device 0527
Kernel driver in use: radeon
# glxinfo | grep rendering
direct rendering: Yes
And I had have a fully working compiz under Lenny at this hardware.
Worked like a charm.
At the same time ./compiz-check now shows:
$ ./compiz-check
Gathering information about your system...
Distribution: Debian GNU/Linux (squeeze/sid)
Desktop environment: GNOME
Graphics chip: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M7 LW
[Radeon Mobility 7500]
Driver in use: radeon
Rendering method: AIGLX
Checking if it's possible to run Compiz on your system...
Checking for texture_from_pixmap... [ OK ]
Checking for non power of two support... [ OK ]
Checking for composite extension... [ OK ]
Checking for FBConfig... [ OK ]
Checking for hardware/setup problems... [FAIL]
There has been (at least) one error detected with your setup:
Error: Software Rasterizer in use
Would you, please, help me to bring all this to work? At least, point
me to actual document how to get compiz working on Squeeze.
Thank you very much!
