Just installed Solaris Express Community Edition ( sol-nv-b87-x86-dvd.iso ) on a HP desktop (Nvidia FX 5200) and I was happily surprised to see that Compiz was working right after the installation without any juggling (and it was installed by default). Now I don't know if SXCE always had Compiz + Nvidia support built-in or not... ( I have installed S10 and SXDE many times but don't recall seeing Compiz in either one)
Since I've played around with quite a few Linux distros very recently, I was almost shocked to see Compiz effects working "right out of the box" in Solaris. The only little thing I changed was "Visual Effects": from None to Custom under "Preferences > Appearance " and voila. When I looked in "System Tools > NVIDIA X Server Settings", the latest 169.12 drivers were installed already. Haven't used SXCE much but with a new Firefox 3 and VLC Player (would love to see VLC as a default multimedia player), I guess I can make Solaris my default desktop. - Jags This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list [email protected]
