- 
-1) IBM Thinkpad R61i (Intel Centrino Core 2 Duo)\\ 
-2) Intel 965 Chipset\\

-Here is the task that I did to make it work. I'm using kde4, and i do not use the kde4 backend. Optionally you can download the kconfig4 / kconfig / gconf backend\\ 
- 
-Get and install the latest compiz releases from http://releases.compiz.org/0.8.2/ . I'm installing from the source and did not encounter any problems during this task. There might be some dependency issues here, depending or your system. Just take care of it and proceed the next step.\\ 
- 
-For all of the plugins **main / extra / unsupported**, i've specified **--prefix** to prevent bcop error.\\ 
-**./configure --prefix=/usr/local**\\ 
- 
-Alternately you can just make a symlink to bcop.pc\\ 
- 
-ln -s /usr/local/share/pkgconfig/bcop.pc /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/bcop.pc\\ 
- 
-After installing the plugins, install libcompizconfig.\\ 
-I create symlinks to the libs.\\ 
- 
-ln -s /usr/local/lib/libcompizconfig.so.0.0.0 /usr/lib/libcompizconfig.so.0\\ 
-ln -s /usr/local/lib/libemeraldengine.so.0.0.0 /usr/lib/libemeraldengine.so.0\\

- 
-Create a compiz launcher script (i created this in **/usr/bin/kde4compiz** and I'm using **emerald** for the windows decoration)\\ 
-<file bash kde4compiz> 
-#!/bin/bash 
-LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=True  
-compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp --indirect-rendering 
-wait 
-sleep 1 
-emerald --replace & 
-</file> 
-Make it executable\\ 
-<code>chmod 644 /usr/bin/kde4compiz</code> 
-Create a compiz-kde-launcher script ( just link it )\\ 
-<code>ln -s /usr/bin/kde4compiz /usr/local/bin/compiz-kde-launcher</code> 
- 
-In KDE4, Go to **KMenu>System Settings>Default Applications>Window Manager** and select **"use a different window manager"** and choose **Compiz custom**\\ 
-At this point, you might not see any window decoration. To enable it,\\ 
-Under **ccsm>Effects>Window Decoration>Command**, put **compiz-kde-launcher**\\ 
-Restart your KDE to test it out.
