not showing more than 2 workspaces

[grebarton]

I have recently installed a new graphics card to get visual effects working but now my bottom menu bar will not show more than 2 available workspaces but they were available before the install.

How can I make it so I can use 4 workspaces again?

right click on the workspace--->preference and change the workspace to ur need. to get visual effects with cube , u should have 4 workspace

I have already had it changed to 4 workspaces as I did before i got the new card. But it simply won't display them all or scroll through any but the first 2 when I use the scroll wheel.

Any other ideas?

[arvindenrique]

delete the panel and create a new panel and select add to panel--->workspace switcher and then follow the last post.

Sorry its still not working tried it various ways and still only shows 2 workspaces with compiz running, when i switch compiz off it shows the 4 workspaces again.

do you have compizconfig-settings-manager installed?
if not install it from a terminal:
sudo aptitude install compizconfig-settings-managerrun compizconfig-settings-manager:
ccsm(or from Applications -> Setting -> Advenced Desktop Effect Setting???)

go to the General Options -> Desktop Size tab and set Number of Desktops to 4

I do appear to have the settings manager installe dbut when i try to run it I get this:

grebarton@grebarton-desktop:~$ ccsm
Traceback (most recent call last):

Thanks for all your help so far.

Try going into system>preferences>advanced desktop effect settings click on general options then click the desktop size tab.change the horizontal virtual size to however many workspaces you want. Hope this helps
