compiz --replace & disown
in the terminal and the it appears to do something by blanking out momentarily and then returning to the session, but none of the bindkeys work--keyboard or mouse.Regarding the choppy fps, I am using an old i3 with on-board GPU and 16G RAM that can barely handle high definition. Are there any particular settings in Compiz I should try, such as any under the OpenGL General tab or Composite General tab? To be clear, the fps is normally okay. It's just after so long it becomes choppy. If something is hogging the GPU I have no idea what, because there are no videos playing or 3D engines running. The refresh rate per Composite General tab is 60fps. I know I need a newer and more powerful machine but it does perform well most of the time and I run the same programs consistently whether or not it's performing. It seems like its state of operation somehow gets corrupted at some point.
Regarding
compiz --replace & disown
not working and losing the bindkeys, how can we begin to debug this? I am not interested in workarounds or adding buttons or going to another menu. I need this command to work from the terminal or script and would prefer to be able to run a Linux session indefinitely with no corruption of Compiz's state of operation.Thanks.
