man compiz (1): OpenGL window and compositing manager

SYNOPSIS

compiz [options] [plugins]

compiz is a compositing window-manager using OpenGL for rendering.

--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.
