Thanks for the information posted. That provided me with enough information that I was able to resolve this "Composite extension not enabled" issue. Upon completing installation of Ubuntu 7.10, I immediately enabled restricted drivers for my RX800 card. When I later saw this message, going on experience I'd learned from 7.04, I installed Emerald theme manager. Still got the same error message. Next, when I was tweaking some of the settings in the Emerald Theme Manager, on the "Themes Settings" tab > "Repositories" tab, I noticed buttons for fetching "GPL'd" and "non GPL'd" themes. At the top of this tab was the instruction to install "Subversion." At the bottom were the command line instructions for what to do once Subversion had been installed. Using Synaptic Package Manager, I searched for and installed Subversion and the required dependency packages. I then followed the instructions for activating the non-GPL repository. Both of these steps worked without a hitch. Unfortunately, I still got the same error message. That's when I found this post. I promptly disabled the restricted driver for my graphics card and restarted. On logging back into the system, I found that I was able to enable visual effects. So I am thinking that for some of you who started by disabling the restricted drivers, perhaps the next steps should be to install Emerald, Subversion, and activate the non-GPL repository for the themes (i.e. if you want the non-GPL'd). Anyway, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Best of luck...
