Fedora 12, LXDE, install compiz

[gychang]

I have a thinkpad T42 laptop and was able to install compiz with F12 with gnome.

Is there a guide on how to instal compiz in LXDE?, I apologize if this is the wrong forum for the question.

Ask your distro, or look at http://wiki.compiz.org/Distributions

It works best if you use the flat file backend "compiz ccp" so you do not depend on the Gnome or KDE configuration storage backend.

As root (or use sudo):

Code: Select all

yum check-update 

to make sure you've got the latest info, from the repositories, then

Code: Select all

yum install compiz ccsm

should do it. Or use one of the graphical front ends for package management (yumex, PackageKit, smart) and select compiz and ccsm. That should pull in all of the dependencies.
