Hello, i'm using kubuntu, kde4, i tried to change any compiz setting or changing any default settings related to the desktop or appearance, but nothing happened.
i'm using 1.8 Ghz processor, 768 MB Ram, builtin 32 MB S3 prosavage Card
i opened the hardware drivers see my VGA card, i found "no proprietary card installed on this system.
if my builtin card doesn't support, could u please tell me a brand tested and works with my old machine? i have VGA slot to put another card.
