Hi,
I'm trying to get Compiz-Fusion + Gnome to work on my newly (completed
installation + initial upgrades last night) installed IBM T43p notebook,
but I'm not sure that I'm doing this right..,
Basically, I've: -
1] Installed OS
2] Upgraded OS to latest Stable as of (early AM) Aug 17th 2008
3] Upgraded install-time ports (portupgrade, cvsup, etc)
4] Installed XORG
5] Installed compiz-fusion from ports
6] installed gnome2 from ports
7] Tried following instructions located here:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/compiz-fusion/index.html
I can log into Gnome desktop fine, but running the suggested cmds:
% compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp &
% emerald --replace &
as per the article above, doesn't appear to do anything. I mean, what else
is there that I need to do, besides, please?
Here's some system info:
$ uname -a
FreeBSD <snipped> 7.0-STABLE FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE #0: Sat Aug

$ pkg_info -a | grep -i compiz-fusion | head -3

$ pkg_info -a | grep -i gnome2-2 | head -1
gnome2-2.22.3
$ pkg_info -a | grep -i xorg-server | head -1
xorg-server-1.4.2,1
$

Any help or pointers appreciated, please.
Thanks!
