Cube doesn't work on Mate 17

Post by ssreddy555 »

While other components of Compiz like wobbly windows are working perfectly, cube & its related ones like cube rotation & Reflection do not work. When ctrl+alt+Rt (or Lt) keys are used to rotate the cube, the desktop page simply flips. No cube is formed in the first place.

Any suggestions please?

Can someone tell me how to activate & rotate cube? What are the keys used for this purpose?

I tried ctrl+alt+ Rt or Lt arrow keys as indicated in the bindings section of Rotate cube but they are simply flipping the desk tops (i have set 4 desktops) without forming a cube.

Do you have a good video graphic card?

Open Compiz Manager and check Rotate Cube.

I have checked Rotate cube already; but it does not work.

Sorry, Compiz is very unstable.

I have a poor AMD ATI 5450 HD and it was Imposible to make it works on MInt 17.1 Mate or Cinnamon with private or Linux driver, like it did on Maya. Now I've found that it works on KDE with linux driver. Do you really think It's a problem with graphic cards?.

1st you need to install proprietary Ati drivers, **see forums**
2nd you MUST set workspace desktops to 4, default it is 2 (go to settings and look for it) In KDE is it located under Virtual Desktops, and for Cinnamon and MATE, set it using Compiz fusion settings manager under general options.
...Under KDE, the default shortcut is "Shift+F10"
