It's hard to tell from lists.debian.org. I think debian-user would be a better place for your questions since they are likely not 64-bit specific. I mean, amd64 will be the most common platform within the next year or two so it doesn't need a port-specific user list.

Nevertheless, here are the versions of the most important packages: KDE = 4:3.5.5.dfsg.1-1 (probably doesn't matter at all) compiz = 0.2.0-1 xserver-xorg = 1:7.1.0-6 linux-image = 2.6.18 custom built Only notable difference from a typical debian testing box, is that I'm always backporting the proprietary Nvidia drivers from unstable. I've been using the 8774 drivers, but I read that you need the 9 series to support AIGLX, so I backported the nvidia drivers from experimental (1.0.9625-2). My gfx card is 6600GT, on an Asus K8N-E, rest does not matter I think... Dimitris PS: There is a conflict with the 9625 drivers and kernels that have the EEPROM module compiled and loaded. In this case you get a normal boot sequence, no hangs or anything, but the screen is blank instead of a prompt, or GDM, or something. Simple solution, unload the EEPROM module (1) (1) http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=10103

The only difference from what you've mentioned is that I use "compiz --replace gconf&", followed by either GTK or GNOME window decorator. both work. could you give us the version you are using of the packages? what kind of video card are you using? I have a segfault of gtk-window-decorator. thanks.

You should start that before compiz. It doesn't work for me. But I have not "gnome-window-decorator", I have only "gtk-window-decorator". I have installed compiz-gnome too, but it doesn't contain "gnome-window-decorator". However, I read in a guide to launch this if borders vanishing: rm -r ~/.gconf/apps/compiz/ and restart gnome. But it doesn't work for me too:) Giulio -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: compiz windows without borders
Hello. I followed this guide to install compiz on debian unstable: http://wiki.debian.org/Compiz (and other 2 little guides not in english) but when I launch from shell "compiz --replace &" window borders vanishing and windows are not more clickable. I use nvidia 5700 with last drivers available on unstable repository. Have you any idea? Unlike most other window managers, compiz does not draw window borders. Instead, drawing window borders is handled by "gnome-window-decorator" or "gtk-window-decorator". You should start that before compiz. Hope that helps...
