Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-control-center
Compiz worked OOTB during and after the install.
After I disabled it in gnome-appearance-properties, I can't turn it back on.
It does work when running it via the terminal, though:
$ compiz
Checking for Xgl: not present.
Detected PCI ID for VGA: 02:00.0 0300: 1002:4152 (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
Checking for texture_from_pixmap: not present.
Trying again with indirect rendering:
Checking for texture_from_pixmap: present.
Checking for non power of two support: present.
Checking for Composite extension: present.
Comparing resolution (1280x1024) to maximum 3D texture size (2048): Passed.
Checking for nVidia: not present.
Checking for FBConfig: present.
Checking for Xgl: not present.
/usr/bin/compiz.real (core) - Warn: Unable to parse XML metadata from file
"ccp.xml"
/usr/bin/compiz.real (video) - Warn: No 8 bit GLX pixmap format, disabling YV12
image format
Unfortunately there is absolutely no error message whatsoever when starting
gnome-appearance-properties. It just wants to install the proprietary fglrx
driver without a reason why.
