Compiz and Compiz Fusion Git

Updated -git packages, they have working 3D plugin and and a new plugin called freewins by warlock. After activating, use Ctrl + Click near edges to rotate windows on X axis, Ctrl+Click near center to rotate Z axis, Shift+Click restores the window.
Freewins implement window rotation like Metisse does. Here is a video of the plugin in action.
Unfortunate side effect is ctrl+alt+button1 for cube rotate does not work. Disable freewins to make it work.
Another addition to git is is a work by metastability: a new improved atlantis2 with more natural fish movements and some crabs to complete the scene.
It also contains marex’s simple-ccsm, still under development but has seen a lot of improvement since the last packages.
You can now install -git over X11:XGL repo, there is only one conflict which I have not been able to track “xgl-hardware-list” select “Ignore this generally” when resolver comes up, the packages should install fine. As git is newer than the X11:XGL you would have to manually remove all git packages before installing X11:XGL packages again.
Warning: These are unstable packages meant for developers and testers only, use at your own peril

Cheers !!
One-click Install works fine on opensuse Factory. Ignored deps, and just let it happen. Great job.

Works properly on 10.3 as well
Question: Wouldn’t it be better to start fusion-icon from the /opt/kde3/bin directory. With the Compiz.desktop starter from /opt/kde3/share/autostart kwin is completely starting before it’s replaced by compiz. On NVidia this gives an ugly black screen after the desktop appears. If started from the /opt/kde3/bin directory compiz immediately replaces kwin, and is completely loaded when the desktop appears. You have to remove the Compiz.desktop because the fusion-icon will run twice.

Hi,
What do you mean
‘As git is newer than the X11:XGL you would have to manually remove all git packages before installing X11:XGL packages again.’
Does it actually replace any of the compiz packages?
: cyberorg, January 4, 2008 @ 2:20 pm
Packages in X11:XGL and home:cyberorg are both compiz packages, they replace each other.
Please use X11:XGL repo to be safe if you are not sure about what the distinction is.
Packages in home:cyberorg are for developers and testers.
