Compiz problems

[abhinandh]

your card has been blacklisted due to lack of drivers.[Intel 965 (X3000, X3100)]
to remove the blacklist give the following in terminal

mkdir -p ~/.config/compiz/ && echo SKIP_CHECKS=yes >> ~/.config/compiz/compiz-manager

now give the following

 compiz --replace

NOTE: YOU MAY HAVE VIDEO INSTABILITY.TRY IT AND SEE.THERE'S NO HARM.

^âlready done.Check my last post.

@devilerhaps getting latest intel driver and building kernel module helps! i mean for 965 onboard.remember that i havent tried
*intellinuxgraphics.org/documentation.html
bookmark this page for "new features and driver support" on latest kernels.
*kernelnewbies.org/LinuxChanges

 

[abhinandh]

guess you have to wait for driver support

 

[The_Devil_Himself]

i don't have 946\x3000 guys I have 946\gma3000.

Thanks for the links praka bookmarked!!!.Anyways I am getting 8600gt next month then there won't be any problem.Damn these intel onboards.

 

[praka123]

intel onboard gfx is one of the best supported in Linux.drivers are opensource too.I think compiz is playing foul here,not ur kernel drivers. as DRI too is enabled.

 

[abhinandh]

i just read that beryl works.
one more thing..... try setting your video driver to "intel" in xorg.conf.
its the new driver.

 

[The_Devil_Himself]

^a nearly complete noob here abhinandh so please give full steps on how to do it.

Find the block called Devices under /etc/X11/xorg.conf file which goes like, for example:

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Generic Video Card"
        [B]Driver          "nvidia"[/B]
        Busid           "PCI:1:0:0"
        Option          "AddARGBVisuals"        "True"
        Option          "AddARGBGLXVisuals"     "True"
        Option          "NoLogo"        "True"
EndSection

Set whatever that driver string holds, as intel.

	EndSubSection

Seems ok to me.

Section "Module"
        Load            "dbe"
        Load            "dri"

^does ur module list in xorg.conf like the same as above.

I can't find anything said.

 

[praka123]

afaik plain compiz is installed in gutsy by default.not compiz-fusion.I use vanilla compiz in GG 7.10.

 

[The_Devil_Himself]

aww..its all so confusing I mean didn't you guys used to say that compiz+berly is now developed as a single project named compiz-fusion?

If compiz-fusion is not installed by default then how can I install it by apt?I mean the exact apt-get install command.

 

[praka123]

now compiz-fusion is explained as compiz+extraplugins.that extra plugins portion is compiz-fusion or erstwhile beryl .there are unofficial repositories to be added to get compiz-fusion.for that,check *ubuntuforums.org
and compiz-fusion is explained here:
*opencompositing.org
