I have a Dell Inspiron with the ATI x1400 video card. In Ubuntu 7.04 I ran Compiz-Fusion in XGL with the fglrx drivers and the system was very responsive. I noticed no performance penalties at all. In Ubuntu 8.04 I am running Compiz natively with the current fglrx drivers, and the system is sluggish. Disabling Compiz makes the system very responsive. So I am interested in running Compiz in XGL

I have installed Compiz-Fusion on several Ubuntu machines, all different hardware, with KDE. In all of them, the option to shutdown or reset the computer is absent from the KDE logout buttons when running Compiz-Fusion. I have searched google and see that others have this problem, but I do not see a solution. Is there a known solution to this condition? Thanks in advance. Dotan Cohen

On a Dell Inspiron E1505 / 6400 with the ATI x1400 video card running the fglrx driver on Kubuntu 8.04, I have some video problems while running Compiz. I am not using XGL, in fact, I removed it from the system as it was causing performance issues. The symptoms I describe here were present before removing XGL, as well as after. The test applet on java.com flashes (as if it disappears between

In Ubuntu 7.10 with KDE, I have compiz running under XGL. Although Beryl ran fine in Ubuntu 7.04, Compiz will not enable 3D effects such as wobbly windows. Other effects, such as minimize/restore animations, work properly. The machine is a Dell Inspiron 6400 / E1505 laptop, 2Ghz Intel DuoCore2, 2GB RAM, ATI X1400, 1680x1050 widescreen. What should I begin to troubleshoot? Thanks in advance.

AMD is dropping support for the R300-R500 cards in their official drivers: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=amd_r500_legacy&num=1 As the current open source drivers do not support 3D, I'd like to know which Compiz effects use 3D and which use 2D.

I a rather dependent upon the Enhanched Zoom Desktop tool. It allows me to zoom into a part of the screen and see it clearly, with the zoomed part of the screen following the mouse. However, there are times when I need the screen to remain where it is (not to pan with the mouse), and the only way that I've found to do that is with the "Toggle zoom area lock" option. When this option

Does Compiz-0.7.6 solve the problem with the 'waiting' cursor being invisible when using the Enhanced Zoom plugin?

I just installed Compiz on Ubuntu Feisty (Gutsy does not work on my hardware as per the release notes) via the http://ppa.launchpad.net/amaranth/ubuntu repo, which is the repo suggested in the compiz-fusion website. The machine is a Dell Inspiron E1505 / 6400 with the horrible ATI X1400 graphics card and 1680x1050 monitor. I installed XGL and the proprietary ATI driver, a combination that worked

Can grep show the matching lines and the next N lines after a match? For instance, I have a config file wit hthe following text: [Tag h1] foreground=#2e5a03 underline=double indent=0 weight=PANGO_WEIGHT_BOLD scale=2.25 I would ideally grep on "[Tag h1]" and have grep display the match and the next 5 lines so that I see all the content of the h1 section. Can this be done? Thanks! --

In a wine bug report I have been asked to attach a compressed +tid,+seh,+relay,+msi log. I have been googling for over two hours trying to find out just how to do that. Can someone please RTFM me with a link to information that explains how to do that? If you find it via google, I would like to know what keywords you used. Thanks in advance.

Hi David, I have a copy of Windows that I bought a year or two ago, but never really used it, as I preferred to use Linux. Got it just in case I needed the license, I guess now I can put it to use. Me paying for the Windows copy should include the fonts, right? It's working now, and showing the fonts. Thanks a lot :-D Now all that I have left is to get the characters to attach, and I

All commands return a value, usually 0 if run properly. For instance, try: $ ls && echo "done" $ lsd && echo "done" The echo command is only executed if the ls command exited successfully. If one did not add the echo command with the && after a command, how can he determine if the command exited successfully? I have a particularly troubling script that

I have installed Postfix, Dovecot, and Squirrelmail on a CentOS 5.5 machine. In Squirrelmail a user can send mail, but he is not receiving replies. There is nothing relevant in the maillog other than the user's (successful) login attempts. I am at loss, I have been following tutorials such as the Perfect Server [1] series and other Google results, but I cannot get this thing to receive mail.

I just got off a Windows 7 terminal which has rotating tab completion, this means that in the case of completion ambiguity the shell completes one of the possibilities, and subsequent tabs complete to different possibilities. This in contrast to bash's behaviour of simply printing a list of possibilities. Googling I have found that bash can in fact have rotating completion by setting

There is a CentOS 5.2 machine that is sometimes found to be offline. It runs a few websites but nothing very high traffic. I happened to notice a few days ago that before it went down, one of the sites written in PHP was throwing errors that it could not connect to the MySQL backend. Two hours later, the whole server was down and wasn't even responding to SSH. It's not my box, but I may
