Wow, that works like a charm! Many thanks.

This is enough to get compiz working on my laptop:

$ gconftool --set /apps/compiz/general/allscreens/options/active_plugins \
>       --type list --list-type string \
>       '[gconf,png,svg,decoration,wobbly,fade,minimize,cube,rotate,zoom,scale,move,place,switcher,screenshot,resize]'
$ compiz --replace
GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is not available with direct rendering.
GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is available with indirect rendering.


Could this info please be added to:

/usr/share/doc/compiz/README.Debian

?

Thanks,
Ondrej
