If Compiz is working for you (and its performance is acceptable, I see no need to add those stanzas to the xorg.conf. However, your problem may be down to the fact that Compiz defines different keyboard shortcuts to what your old window manager did. Dig through the config manager for compiz and find the Move to Next/Previous Workspace entries and assign Ctrl+Alt+Arrow. -- Paul Saunders signature.asc Description: Digital signature
