Terminal as a desktop background.

  Date: Jan 21    Category: Unix / Linux / Ubuntu    Views: 405
  

i have very strange problem.
before telling you any thing its just understand am a ubuntu noob.
so i just searching around and googling "how to embed terminal as a background?"
"Terminal as a desktop background"
then i got result some thing is usefulness or may be you call it unnecessary for
me.

the answer is
1--Terminal use as a desktop background via devlspie. via this thread.
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202249
2--terminal embed with the help of compiz.
3--terminal embed on desktop as a background with brayl.

i was just able to apply only first condition. but here is a problem my
terminal title bar shown and terminal exactly not embed on desktop.

i try to use terminal as a desktop background via breyl and compiz.
but here is a requirement of bryel and compiz is "high graphics card."

when i check my graphic card via command "lspci"
output show
"00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated
Graphics Controller (rev 02)"

and its not compatible with breyl and i cant use compiz too.

So any idea how can i solve this problem.

Also as i mention my graphics card is low and i use "visual effect : none"
then is there are any high graphics driver available for ubuntu. so i use
compiz.


my ubuntu is.
Ubuntu 10.04 lucid lynix
512 mb ram.
1.6 processor.

i think this detail is enough. and if you require more then i will give you.

Your suggestions and tricks are really appreciate able for me.

Compiz requires a graphics card with compositing capability, in other words
a 3D card. You won't be able to do what you want unless your card has
compositing, and not all are.
