compiz - May 2008 - . Re: Java animations, Google Earth flashing with Compiz

Dear Dotan,
                   The problem of flashing/flickering in 3D apps/ videos
with Xv enabled on account of non-redirection is limited to AIGLX and not an
issue at all with XGL and compiz. fglrx till date has many mem leaks and
crappy 3d performance on linux especially with compiz enabled. If you want
to use these apps with compiz, for now use XGL. Else just disable compiz
temporarily when you use them under AIGLX until DRI2 stabilizes and all
drivers incorporate the changes in the rendering infrastructure. (PS: Fusion
icon allows you to easily enable/disable compiz)

Thank you Karthik, I seem to have missed this post when you posted it.

Please tell me, how does one enable the fusion icon? In beryl I had an
icon but since moving to Kubuntu 8.04 I have no Compiz icon, and I do
not see how to enable it. Thanks.
