   * For complete info on how to set up XGL on different cards and some tweaks see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=148351 


   * Read #General Notes
   * Read #How to install Graphics Driver (NVIDIA) 


sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_backup
gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

   * Find this section

Load	"bitmap"
...
Load	"type1"
Load	"vbe"
EndSection

   * Comment out dri and GLcore (if present)

   * Make sure the glx module is loaded 

Load	"glx"

   * Save the edited file
   * Install Xgl/Compiz 

sudo apt-get install compiz xserver-xgl libgl1-mesa xserver-xorg libglitz-glx1 compiz-gnome
sudo cp /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom-backup
gksudo gedit /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom

   * Replace everything with the following lines 

# GDM Configuration Customization file.
#
# This file is the appropriate place for specifying your customizations to the
# GDM configuration.   If you run gdmsetup, it will automatically edit this
# file for you and will cause the daemon and any running GDM GUI programs to
# automatically update with the new configuration.  Not all configuration
# options are supported by gdmsetup, so to modify some values it may be
# necessary to modify this file directly by hand.
# 
# To hand-edit this file, simply add or modify the key=value combination in
# the appropriate section in the template below.  Refer to the comments in the
# gdm.conf file for information about each option.  Also refer to the reference
# documentation.
# 
# If you hand edit a GDM configuration file, you should run the following
# command to get the GDM daemon to notice the change.  Any running GDM GUI
# programs will also be notified to update with the new configuration.
#
# gdmflexiserver --command="UPDATE_CONFIG <configuration key>"
#
# For example, the "Enable" key in the "[debug]" section would be specified by
# "debug/Enable".
#
# You can also run gdm-restart or gdm-safe-restart to cause GDM to restart and
# re-read the new configuration settings.  You can also restart GDM by sending
# a HUP or USR1 signal to the daemon.  HUP behaves like gdm-restart and causes
# any user session started by GDM to exit immediately while USR1 behaves like
# gdm-safe-restart and will wait until all users log out before restarting GDM.
# 
# For full reference documentation see the gnome help browser under
# GNOME|System category.  You can also find the docs in HTML form on
# http://www.gnome.org/projects/gdm/
# 
# NOTE: Lines that begin with "#" are considered comments.
# 
# Have fun!

   * Create a script that runs Xgl/Compiz on startup 

gksudo gedit /usr/bin/thefuture

   * Insert the following lines into the new file. Replace .us with appropriate keyboard binding for your region. Eg .gb for United Kingdom. For a full list of keyboard bindings, type ls /usr/share/xmodmap in a terminal. If unsure, leave as .us (United States) 

#!/bin/bash
gnome-window-decorator &  compiz --replace gconf decoration wobbly fade minimize cube rotate zoom scale move resize place switcher &
xmodmap /usr/share/xmodmap/xmodmap.us

   * Save the file 

sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/thefuture

   * To run compiz for this session 

thefuture

   * To have compiz load on startup
         o System -> Preferences -> Sessions
         o Startup Programs -> Add 

/usr/bin/thefuture

   *
         o Click Ok, then Close
         o Read #How to restart GNOME without rebooting computer 

   * Troubleshooting
         o If Xgl/Compiz doesn't seem to work, or you get errors, simply restart your machine after adding "thefuture" to Startup programs
         o If moving windows slows down the system, run gconf-editor from the terminal. Find apps/compiz/general/screen0/options. Disable detect_refresh_rate and set refresh rate to 60. Everything should work fine now...
         o If you are using a non default keyboard layout (other language), you might have to change it back to what you need if the keyboard acts funny at System/Settings/Keyboard.
         o You can also set the Super-key to the windows button here.
         o If you don't want "bottom expanded panel", type "killall gnome-panel" in terminal. 

   * Tips
         o Switch windows = Alt + Tab
         o Arrange and View All Windows = F12 turns on or off; clicking a window will zoom it to the front
         o Switch desktops on cube = Ctrl + Alt + Left/Right Arrow
         o Switch desktops on cube - with active window following = Ctrl + Shift + Alt + Left/Right Arrow
         o Rotate cube manually = Ctrl + Alt + left-click
         o Make window translucent/opaque = currently only possible with the "transset" utility
         o Zoom-in once = Super-key right-click
         o Zoom-in manually = Super-key + wheel mouse up
         o Zoom-out manually = Super-key + wheel mouse down
         o Move window = Alt + left-click
         o Snap Move window (will stick to borders) = Ctrl + Alt + left-click
         o Resize window = Alt + right-click
