Where I can start to study Compiz

You need to install and configure video drivers. Once they are started then compiz will be enabled by default. You do not need to "study" compiz

Can you give the output of:

sudo lshw -C display

Thanks

Try reading their Wiki pages for more informations:

Hello actionparsnip and Ian Ace A. Culallad ,Thanks very much for your help.

Sorry ,I am not in the office and without a Ubuntu system in hand now ，so I
could not get the output :-)
Yesterday ,I installed and configured my video driver-- ATI ,and enable
compiz,it can works fine.
I try several plugins, both works as expected.
But some plugins, such as Rotate Cube ,I still can not make it work.
I remember my steps is:
(1)Enalbe Desktop Cube and Rotate Cube
(2)Change the column of workspace in preference from 2 to 4
(3)But when I click <Control><Alt>Left/Right ,No response.
I wonder whether there is some more steps I missed.

And actionparsnip,Would you like tell me this commond:
sudo lshw -C display
To check what,is it get the Hardware info to the Video driver, Sorry ,I
really have very little knowledge about Linux or Ubuntu system.

Thanks for your kindly help!

One of the best ways to study compiz is to first get familiar with the
code, and then just jump in and start reading the code. In the beginning
you may have some difficulties but later on you realize how beautiful it
is :)

Thanks Sam, that solved my question.

Thanks Sam.The info is very useful for me!
When I run lshw -C display,I can get the similar output like you. And I know what it mean now.
I will continue try those effect... Thanks again.
And Vikram ,Thank You.I think maybe reading the code is difficult for me :-) because I have a few knowledge in Linux and coding programmer.Anyway ,I will try my best.
Thanks all of you!
