As a temporary solution, I suggest forcing 3d windows to be redirected
and using false fullscreen (ie. a window with decorations removed).
There would be a large performance hit, but would be far safer.

Bobby, to force compiz to run, you should disable the blacklist. It
works on my latop, which is also Intel GM965. However, some effects
(blur, rain...) don't work, and sometimes your framerates drops really
low. Overall its ok though. (I simply commented the blackline in the

Compiz cannot be enabled by typing "compiz --replace" into gnome-
terminal, or by enabling desktop effects in appearences due to Metacity
having "restart" style in sessions, so that it would restart once it is
