Install Compiz Fusion From Source Tarball - Part 2 (end)

In the previous article I have explained how to prepare your hardware before install Compiz Fusion. And in this article, I'll show you how to install Compiz Fusion from Source in Slackware Linux 12.1 although my compiz does not work because my hardware configuration is still not correct.
