At last i was able to get my hands on the scaned copy of HP on the day it got released.
Now as i am writing this post, i feel contented that i have finished it now.

although i personally feel the best book was book 5 : order of the phoenix

But this book also was one i was waiting for a long time and i must admit that it has elevated my
expectations due to long delay but at the same time the expectation’s were met with if not higher
then at least same standards.

There had been a lot of killing in this part and it was unavoidable due to the prospect of the subject matter this book has to deal with.

Will write more as and when i get time. feeling sleepy now. (it has been nearly 24hrs since i have had a trouble free sleep.)

Compiz Up and running in Debian

Technical, debian 4 Comments »

I finally was able to successful run compiz on debian based PC.

A lot of work has to be done on Debian to make it stand up in front of REDHAT. but even without those enhancements, It is a lot more better then redhat and other rpm based ones in terms of its support on packages both online and off line.

In order to configure COMPIZ Help taken from http://lunapark6.com/debian-40-etch.html

Befor starting to act on the below listed steps, you should know about the basic requirement of the compiz manager, The bare minimum is 3D capable Graphic’s card and atleast 512 MB of ram.

The simple procedure is as follows

Install Compiz using apt-get

#apt-get install compiz

this will install compiz along with its dependencies

now you need to manually perform some steps in the file : /etc/X11/xorg.conf

then added these two lines under the “Screen” section :

Option “XAANoOffscreenPixmaps”
Option “AddARGBGLXVisuals” “true”

then added these lines under “Device” :

Option “AllowGLXWithComposite” “true”
Option “RenderAccel” “true”

added one line under “Server Layout” :

Option “AIGLX” “on”

Finally at the end of the file I added these lines :

Section “Extensions”
Option “Composite” “Enable”
EndSection

After making the following chages with your fav. text editor

Add “compiz –replace” to “Desktop -> Preferences -> Sessions -> Startup Programs”.

Now restart the Xserver, Better is to restart the whole system.

After you login you will directly be in a compizified environment.
