+compiz - 0.0.13+git20060928
+===========================
+
+This version of compiz was checked out from the upstream git repository at
+git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/app/compiz on September 28, 2006.
+
+Xorg Server Configuration
+=========================
+
+In order for compiz to work you need to add the following to you server
+configuration file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf):
+
+ + Enable the composite extension: locate the section named "Extensions" and
+ add the following line:
+
+ Option "Composite" "enable"
+
+ If there is no section "Extensions" yet, you should add one that looks
+ like this:
+
+ Section "Extensions"
+ Option "Composite" "enable"
+ EndSection
+
+ + Make XAA not hold any pixmaps in offscreen memory. This slows down compiz
+ in many configurations. You can disable this by adding the following line
+ to your "Device" section:
+
+ Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"
+
+Now restart your X server and login to your favorite session. After the
+session has loaded completely, open a terminal window and type the following
+command:
+
+ $ compiz --replace &
+
+Which will start compiz, make it replace the current window manager and
+background the process so you can safely close the terminal again. If all went
+well, compiz should start up and enable a whole bunch of desktop effects.
