[defect] Window decorators do not work

[fromagxo]

Configuration that should work (and it was working):

xorg.conf:<...>
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us,ru"
Option "XkbVariant" ",winkeys"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:ctrl_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll"
EndSection
<...>
Section "ServerLayout"
<...>
Inputdevice "Generic Keyboard"
<...>
EndSection
<...>

...It worked before I installed Compiz :-( Now I've got the english keymapping only.

How will I get my russian letters back?

Versions:
Kubuntu 7.10 (kernel 2.6.22-14-generic)
X.org 1.3.0
Compiz 0.6.0

You're using Xgl? Does it work if you use Xgl, but are in metacity? My guess is that this is actually a problem with Xgl and not with compiz.

You're using Xgl?

I said apt-get install compiz-kde (and some other compiz packages), then tried to run compiz. It answered that cannot find Xgl.

Then I installed xserver-xgl. Don't remember why, but compiz failed again.

After that I changed default kubuntu driver setting 'nv' to 'nvidia', and it started to work! Later, when I needed to write something, I've noticed that cannot write a letter in russian.

So, how can I find, in which manner Compiz is launched?

[adamk]

First, remove Xgl. The message that xgl isn't present is purely informational. Xgl is not required for almost all nvidia cards.

After uninstalling Xgl, restart your X server with control+alt+backspace. Then login, start up compiz, and see if russian works again.

remove Xgl

Thanks! One problem has been solved!

But another raised.

Neither `kde-window-decoration --replace` nor `emerald --replace` don't have effect.

[adamk]

Do you receive any error messages when you run those commands in a terminal?
