Having investigated a little more, I realize that I have to build missing compiz plugins. I will do that in the coming days and will add a package in the repo that will be install able with slapt-get --install <package-name> I will report in this thread when it will be done. Meanwhile I have a question. I updated and hopefully enhanced the documentation in our wiki built with dokuwiki, like e.g. these pages: http://slint.fr/wiki//en/start http://slint.fr/wiki/en/installation http://slint.fr/wiki/en/accessibility http://slint.fr/wiki/en/software_management I am not sure that these pages be as accessible as they should, so please try to read them, including with a web browser like lynx if you use it, and let me know of any issue. If need be I will provide them in a more accessible format. Happy new year everybody!
