desktop effects could not be enabled

[discipulo24]

My problem is: desktop effects could not be enabled :(
Can anyone help me please?

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 with shared graphics memory.

I will be grateful if you can explain me step by step because I'm a complete newby. :confused:

I have the same graphics card with compiz up and running fine. The problem is, this graphics card is blacklisted by compiz for possibly not being able to run the desktop effects. This page shows you how to make compiz ignore the blacklist:

Good luck!
