"Before running compiz for the first time, you should configure it to |
| 23 |
your tastes. Again, there are several sites that cover configuring |
| 24 |
compiz and its various plugins, so I will not cover that here. Note: an |
| 25 |
exception is direct vs. indirect rendering: when using the NVIDIA |
| 26 |
graphics driver, you do not need to use the --indirect-rendering option; |
| 27 |
it limits the number of extensions exposed by the driver, disabling some |
| 28 |
plugins (e.g. water)." |
