Compiz on a crappy old 32mb card.
I’ve been playing around with ubuntu a lot and decided to start remaking the old computer into a linux workstation. To cut down on the god awfull noise I switched over to an old gf2 MX200 card. It’s sucky, but it’s silent.
Turns out compiz wouldn’t work, it just refused to start at all. After a bunch of mucking about I found that editing compiz is all I needed to do. There’s a line in there that specifies the minimum amount of ram needed to run compiz. Sneaky and simple. I just changed that to an acceptably low number and compiz starts right up. The down side is that a few things are just damned slow. And wobbly windows don’t quite work……right. They wobble, but not…..right.
WOBBLY WINDOWS,
