II-5. NVIDIA + Compiz-fusion 

In this chapter we are going to install Compiz-Fusion.

You must have an nVidia GeForce5 card or above.

Open a new Terminal:

su -

First we must add the compiz-fusion repository in pacman. Type:

nano /etc/pacman.conf

And at the end of the file add:

for x86:

[compiz-fusion]
Server = http://compiz.dreamz-box.de/i686

for x86_64:

[compiz-fusion]
Server = http://compiz.dreamz-box.de/x86_64

Save and exit nano.

Now, depending on the desktop we are running:

for Gnome:

pacman -S compiz-fusion-git compiz-fusion-plugins-makebelieve-git

 
for KDE:

pacman -S compiz-kde-git compiz-fusion-plugins-makebelieve-git fusion-icon-git ccsm-git

Our xorg.conf is already compiz-fusion-ready.

Reboot and when you login Just run:

fusion-icon

 
Right click on the little rectangle down on the right and choose

for Gnome:

- Select Window Decorator -> GTK Window Decorator

 
for KDE:

- Select Window Decorator -> KDE Window Decorator

 
All the above actions need to be done only once.

Finally we choose:

- Select Window Manager -> Compiz

 
And compiz-fusion is ready !
