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.
