hi everybody, I can't get my 3D windows to work at all in compiz. I click the "Enable 3D Windows" box and it just reverts to being disabled. any help would be much appreciated
My graphics card is a GeForce 8500 GT. everything else works fine (wel, I can't figure out how to get the title wave option to work but that's beside the point)

for me and 3.4 (have not tried it in 3.5 yet) they only worked with this -> http://www.sabayonlinux.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=9882
WINDOWS: Buy it, use it, break it, fix it, trash it, melt - upgrade it, charge it, pawn it, zoom it, press it, snap it, write it, get it, paste it, save it, load it, check it, plug it, play it, burn it, rip it, drag and drop it - stop. format it.

well this worked for succesfuly updating compiz but now the 3D windows option isn't even there anymore. I think the problem may be with my .keywords file. now, I'm sure the answer to this is very obvious but how do I add/delete keywords from it? or what program do I use to open it?

If you updated and followed the sticky in this forum the latest dev version has the 3D windows working.

didn't try the dev-version with 3.5. the above worked for me. the only reason i did it this way was because i was too lazy

It's fine to do it that way or anyway you want to, but when things go messy, you're on your own to fix the problem.

at the moment i am emerging the dev-version according to yozur how-to. being to lazy is not good.
5 more packages to emerge...
see you later
edit: i just thought about my last sync, it's been quite a few days (the emerald-problem in your how-to). anayway, if it fails i will run it again after syncing.
3 packages left.
