In fact, the three-dimensional effect of Ubuntu is handled by xgl. xgl is a well-known 3D Graphics Server Based on OpenGL, And the compiz software is used to manage these effects. Don't talk nonsense. Start.

1. install your graphics card driver:

Choose system> System Management> hardware driver. Click to activate and install the opengl3d driver.

2. Install the xgl3d Graphics Server and compiz window hybrid Manager

Because xgl is already the default Ubuntu software package and has been installed when the system is installed, we only need to install the compiz manager, you can use system> System Management> new software package management to search for the "compiz" keyword, or you can directly use the terminal CTRL + ALT + T, run sudo apt-Get install compizconfig-settings-manager.

3. restart the system.

4. Set the effect

After the installation is completed, it does not work by default and needs to be set by yourself. Choose system> preference> compiz Device Manager. After the pop-up, you can set the effect.

Note: many effects may conflict with each other. He will prompt you to follow the prompts and do not try to enable all effects.
