Indeed, and I guess I could also be considered a Debian user. :) That said, I haven't tried the default setup in a while, but I can't imagine how the architecture would matter for it. As for the missing decorations, has it been confirmed that all compiz packages including libdecoration0 are the same version, that gtk-window-decorator is running and the decoration plugin is loaded? If so, does running gtk-window-decorator --replace manually give any hints for the problem? -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://tungstengraphics.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer

It's strange that this never worked for you while we always finally fixed similar problems on other machines. I am starting to think that you have something strange in your environment that prevents compiz from working. Have you ever tried with another user account (possibly a just created one with no customization at all) on the same machine? Or the same account on another machine where compiz is supposed to work? I've tested with a new account. I first tried with xnet then fast-user-switch-applet but it then failed back on metacity. So i killed all my sessions before logging into the new account. I get the exact same output and no decoration. I copied all my ~/dotfiles to another computer where compiz works, and it still works. Sad. I am running out of ideas here... I assume all your compiz* packages are the latest from unstable? No old binary manually installed on your hard drive and overriding the packages? (purging and reinstalling all compiz* packages, and running 'locate compiz' might help checking this). Also, in case you have a working KDE environment on this machine, you might to try launching Compiz from there too... Has anyone ever reported compiz to work on !x86 ? I am not sure about Debian users, but at least some upstream developers run Compiz fine it on powerpc. Brice

Working fine here... the biggest problem known to me is performance, working on fixing that, see my recent post to the dri-devel list. Could you try changing the device section of your xorg.conf like this: * remove AGPMode, EnablePageFlip, AGPFastWrite (these options are often considered dangerous...) The AGP options tend to work fine on PPC Macs, and when they don't work, they usually just result in lockups. It's true that page flipping can cause issues with compiz, but those can usually be worked around by rotating the cube or running glxinfo. * switch AccelMethod from EXA to XAA * add Option XAANoOffscreenPixmaps true These might indeed work around the AIGLX GLX_EXT_tfp performance issues somewhat. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://tungstengraphics.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer
