3D effects in Ubuntu10.10

I. Before setting the 3D effect under Ubuntu10.10, when it comes to special effects, the first thought is that the graphics card is awesome and the memory is large. However, in Ubuntu, the special effects are far from abnormal in Windows. When you integrate a video card in Ubuntu, you can feel the fantastic desktop special effects. If you are excited, start preparing for it. First, make sure that your video card driver is correctly installed.

1. Configure the 3D effect before setting Ubuntu 10.10

When it comes to special effects, it is often the first impression that the graphics card is awesome and the memory is large. However, in Ubuntu, the special effects are far from abnormal in Windows. You can feel the fantastic desktop special effects when you integrate a video card in Ubuntu. So, let's get started with preparation:

First, make sure that your video card driver is correctly installed. You can skip this step by using the children's shoes of intel Integrated Display. Because intel drivers are open-source, Ubuntu has already integrated the driver during installation without additional installation. For many N-card and a-card kids shoes, you have to turn on the System-system management-hardware driver, such:

I am a N-card, so the NVIDIA Graphics Accelerator Driver is displayed. Select a version for www.linuxidc.com (a version with a large version is recommended), and click activate in the lower right corner. The system will automatically connect to the source to download and install the driver. After the installation is complete, restart and activate the driver. After the driver is activated, the default system effect is enabled. Further special effect settings depend on the system. The system-preference-appearance is displayed as follows:

Select the visual effects tab, select the extension, and then close. In this way, the system's built-in special effects are opened. Then, you try to move the window to see if the window is moving? It's just the beginning. The good news is that if you have successfully enabled this step, then the special effects cannot be enabled. However, the bad message is that if your video card cannot enable this "extension" effect, you do not need to continue reading this article. After that, install compizconfig-settings-manager (ccsm) and enter

1. sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

After the installation is complete, compizconfig settings manager will be displayed in system-preferences. Note that the ccsm versions in Ubuntu versions are different, which leads to inconsistent interfaces of ccsm. After testing, I found that, the setting of ccsm90 % for 8.10 and 9.04 is the same, but in some cases, 8.10 is in English, which does not have a big impact. However, some of the settings in ccsm 8.04 are not the same. The specific settings are displayed in different positions, and some special effects of ccsm in later versions are not available. So. I recommend that you manually download the new version of ccsm with 8.04 kids shoes. This article uses the ccsm0.8.2 version that comes with 9.04. For version 0.8.2 ccsm source code, download http://releases.compiz-fusion.org/0.8.2/to compile and install the software. After the installation is successful, our special effect settings will be ready. Attached to the ccsm main interface:
