I've found that the problem with visual effects is due to a Compiz blacklisted hardware (intel 965 and ATI graphics) You can enable visual effects (at your own risk) by following the steps listed on Compiz Wiki: http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/Hardware/Blacklist
I've also found many bug reports involving this issue, so please someone who's experienced with this site unify them somehow. -- [jaunty] Desktop effects could not be enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/363967 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
