Default compiz
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?

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.

If you are on 9.0, let us know if the following instructions work:

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

Moving to completed PBIs as this is now a system component.

Hmmm.. What happened here? I did a fresh install of 9.0, ended up without any compiz installed by default, and no compiz in AppCafe... Seems a step backward, not forward :-)

EDIT: To clarify, /usr/local/lib/compiz exists, but there's nothing in it. There's also no compiz binary.

Can we at least move this out of the "FInished PBI's" section of the forum?

compiz is working from install but you must configure compiz settings manager at least with the following options: window decoration, put, move, resize, minimize and create a script with the following lines:

#! /bin/sh
compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp &
emerald --replace &

this script you can add it to Startup Applications in gnome and compiz will function in kde, xfce too.

good luck!
