compiz cant be enabled

i cant enable compiz on my system. i used a script advised to gather information. here is the output:

Gathering information about your system...

Distribution: Ubuntu 9.04
Desktop environment: GNOME
Graphics chip: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)

Checking if it's possible to run Compiz on your system...

Checking for texture_from_pixmap... [ OK ]
Checking for non power of two support... [ OK ]
Checking for composite extension... [ OK ]
Checking for FBConfig... [ OK ]
Checking for hardware/setup problems... [WARN]

Something potential problematic has been detected with your setup:

Your particular graphics chip may be blacklisted on certain distributions.
However that does not necessarily mean you will not be able to run Compiz.

You can skip this blacklist -- but keep in mind that you did so.
Do not complain if you encounter any problems with Compiz afterwards.

Do you want to skip blacklist checks by Compiz? (y/N)

thanks for any help...also, is it advisable to not check for blacklisted chips?

Have you tried to skip blacklist checks?

Your graphics card is blacklisted due to a bug. I have it, too.

Search the terms "ubuntu 9.04 intel blacklist" for plenty of talk about it. The bug is discussed here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/359392

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/363821


Apparently it's causing issues with full-screen flash playback as well.

You can run the risk of crashes by overriding the blacklist, revert back to 8.10 until the bug is fixed, or wait for a fix without compiz for a while.
