NAME¶

compiz - OpenGL window and compositing manager

SYNOPSIS¶

compiz [options] [plugins]

DESCRIPTION¶

compiz is a compositing window-manager using OpenGL for rendering.

OPTIONS¶

--display DISPLAY

Manage the display called DISPLAY instead of the name obtained from the $DISPLAY environment variable.

--bg-image IMAGE

Use IMAGE as background image.

--refresh-rate RATE

Set the default refresh rate.

--fast-filter

Use a fast texture filter.

--indirect-rendering

Force an indirect rendering context. Use this when running compiz on AIGLX.

--loose-binding

Disable strict binding of textures. This may improve performance in some situations (running on XGL). As opposed to strict binding, however, this isn't guaranteed to work. Use with care.

--replace

Replace any existing window managers on the given X display.

--sm-disable

Disable the session management.

--sm-client-id ID

Use the given ID as the client ID for session management.

--no-detection

Disable output screen detection.

--no-fbo

Disable the use of FBOs (frame buffer objects). This can be useful to work around drivers with broken FBO implementations.

--ignore-desktop-hints

Do not use desktop hints (number of desktops, current desktop) as left by the previous window manager.

--only-current-screen

Manage only the screen defined by $DISPLAY (or given by the --display option) and leave all other screens alone.

--use-root-window

Use the root window instead of the composite overlay window for drawing.

--version

Show the compiz version string.

--help

Show a summary of the command-line options.
