OK, I have figured it out by myself. It would be nice if this were hardcoded in Hardy (no pun intended).
ORIGIN: According to this bug https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/31619 there is a hardware limitation by which compiz can only run in 16bpp mode in 1400x1050 resolution. SOLUTION: In this bug, a "fix" solves the issue by limiting compiz to 1024x768 resultion (@24bpp), which also works: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/124519 PROBLEM: Now, the user doesn't know why the 3D effects don't work. Here is how to enable them (going to 16bpp). This presupposes the Screen & Graphics applett doesn't work, as on my system as of right now: In ./etc/X11/xorg.conf put in DefaultDepth 16 in the Screen section.
