Hi, There is a tutorial on how to run Compiz Fusion on FreeBSD here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/compiz-fusion/index.html, but as far as I understood, it is mainly written with nVidia cards in mind. I have an Intel 965G card, and I had to make some changes to make Compiz Fusion work. First of all, I use the intel driver (not the older i810) and XAA (not the default EXA) as the acceleration method, since EXA results in poor performance especially in Firefox. In my xorg.conf, I have the following lines: Option "AIGLX" "true" in ServerLayout section, Option "AccelMethod" "XAA" Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true" Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "true" Option "DRI" "true" in Device section, and at the end of the file, these: Section "DRI" Mode 0666 EndSection Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "enable" EndSection Then, I before I start Compiz, I run the following commands: LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1; export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT INTEL_BATCH=1; export INTEL_BATCH And I run Compiz with: $ compiz --replace --indirect-rendering --sm-disable ccp & $ emerald --replace & Then it runs fine (although I have my own share of problems when I close X). My glxgears benchmark is around 1150fps. Here is the Compiz Fusion wiki page for Intel hardware: http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/Intel%20with%20AiGLX Good luck
