compiz

[adamk]

KDE refuses to enable compositing, though OpenGL acceleration seems to work out-of-the-box on my HD4850. I thought to try compiz instead, since I've always found it to work with more OpenGL drivers where kwin failed, but it doesn't seem to exist...

It's in x11-wm/compiz-fusion in ports.

So despite compiz not showing up in AppCafe, I saw that I have the compiz-fusion package installed... But just that package. None of the supporting compiz packages were installed.

Yes, compiz-fusion was added to base ports. Which additional packages are missing?

[adamk]

There's also

x11-wm/compiz
x11-wm/compiz-plugins-main
x11-wm/compiz-plugins-extra
x11-wm/compizconfig-python
x11-wm/ccsm

Optionally:

x11-wm/compiz-plugins-unsupported

On my fresh install of PCBSD, there was a compiz-fusion package installed, but it didn't contain any files. I believe x11/compiz-fusion is just a metaport that pulls in the other compiz ports.

I haven't tried to get the 0.9.* series to work in over a year and, back then, I had no luck.
