Ah. Your card is blacklisted from running Compiz due to problems with video support under Compiz. As such, your inability to enable desktop effects is intended.
If you wish to use Compiz/desktop effects anyway, you can override this blacklist by adding "SKIP_CHECK=yes" to ~/.config/compiz/compiz-manager, most easily accomplished by running echo SKIP_CHECKS="yes" >> ~/.config/compiz/compiz-manager in a terminal. ** Changed in: compiz (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- Desktop effects could not be enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/155653 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
