I googled it out and found a brutal but working way for my Intel 965 graphic chip which was really attached to the blacklist:
Modify the script /usr/bin/compiz, commenting out the line where the graphic card is inserted in the blacklist. (I don't know about any fault why this card could have been disabled for me as I have never experienced any problem with Ubuntu 8.04 or 8.10.) 1) Type in the terminal: "sudo gedit /usr/bin/compiz" 2) Search in the file the lines about the blacklist. There should be a pair of lines with your (i.e. intel) graphic card. Uncomment them (meaning: put a '#' at the beginning of the line). 3) Save the file. 4) Restart the system -- [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
