Will be grateful.

First, you need to install the relevant packages. On Ubuntu, those would be compiz and all the dependencies that will be automatically installed for you. I would heartily recommend installing fusion-icon too, so that you get a useful icon in your system tray (after executing “fusion-icon” in the command line), with which to control the behavior of Compiz. Lastly, I also recommend installing compizconfig-settings-manager and ccsm, which will give you access to the “Settings Manager” in the fusion-icon menu.

Second, you need to install intel graphics drivers and use them. Check that you have the xserver-xorg-video-intel package installed (which probably will be), and then edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf, as follows:

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Configured Video Device"
        Driver          "intel"
        Option          "EXAOptimizeMigration"          "true"
        Option          "MigrationHeuristic"            "greedy"
EndSection

The two Option lines are optional. The relevant bit is to have “Driver intel”.

After that, restart the X server and you should be done:

% aptitude install fusion-icon

Incidentally, the package that contains the fusion-icon executable is called “fusion-icon” too. When you want to find out what package contains a given file where the above is not true:

% wajig whichpkg filename

For that, you need the wajig package first:

% aptitude install wajig

To see if you are able to run CP, please tell me about the output of:

% glxinfo | grep render

(glxinfo is in package mesa-utils)

I’m using debian lenny on my HP dv2132ea lap and recently i’v installed compiz-fusion-kde.
My graphc is onboard intel 945GM express family.

I still couldn’t have any of the compiz effects for my lap.
”

I could get the CM to seperate window and can setup the effects but still no effects are appearing.

I’ve used the following repos to get the packages..

deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/shames/debian-lenny/desktopfx/unstable/ ./
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free

I’ve edited the xorg.conf as..

Section “Extensions”
Option “Composite” “enable”
EndSection

Section “Device”
Identifier “Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller”
Driver “intel”
BusID “PCI:0:2:0″
Option “XAANoOffscreenPixmaps” “true”
EndSection

Please help me to get this thing working

thanx..
