easy compiz - 8.10 intrepid ibex chrome9 via chrome

[mikez]

Looking at my copy of the: 5.74.33.85a-44597/viax.conf
There is only one monitor section in it - and they duplicated modeline names in it.

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier "Monitor"
	#Refresh Rate 60Hz
	ModeLine "720x480" 26.7 720 736 808 896 480 481 484 497
	ModeLine "720x576" 32.7 720 744 816 912 576 577 580 597
 - - - snip - - - -
	#Refresh Rate 75Hz
	ModeLine "720x480" 34.9 720 752 824 928 480 481 484 502
	ModeLine "720x576" 42.6 720 760 832 944 576 577 580 602
- - - ship - - - -

You see the duplicated names?
The easy fix - delete the refresh rates 75 and 85 -
Or rename the 75 & 85 refresh rate modelines - however you want - I use:
ModeLine "720x480-75" . . .

It is just an identifier string - just use the same name string where you want to use it.

- - - - -

You have to pick a PanelID in that file - just remove the comment character from the one you want to use (note there is now a "dual" mode for 1280x768).

- - - - -

In the "Screen" section at the bottom - file is set for the 1024x600 displays -
change those two lines (the modeline name to use and the virtual size) for
the 1280x768 models.

- - - - -

No input devices shown because 8.10 is now doing that with HAL

You might try setting RandR to true and see what you can do with two monitors
and the xrandr command line tool - maybe that stuff works now.

- - - - -

Check your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file for things that I didn't catch in the above.

I installed with no problems. compiz works, 3D graphics work. Lost all video playback - avi, divx, DVD's. Even if I turn off compiz. These all worked with the 2D driver.

anyone else have this problem?

No video in Totem for me either.

In mplayer playback works if output is set to "X11" or "gl" ("Xv" is broken).

Hi Luvit,

I used you xorg.conf and I managed to enable compiz with all the effects, however the desktop is bigger than the screen (I cant see all of it). I have been trying to twik the xorg.conf but nothing seems to work. Any chance you can throw some light at it?
