I have an ATI IGP 340M graphics chip in a relatively old laptop.
I just updated it to 8.04. However, the special graphics effects (compiz) won't work. The setting in System > Preferences > Appearances > Visual Effects reverts to None with an error of "Desktop effects could not be enabled"
I had these effects working in previous versions of Ubuntu.
When I run compiz, I get the following output:
$ compiz
Checking for Xgl: not present.
Found laptop using ati driver.
aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity
$ lspci | grep ATI
00:00.0 Host bridge: ATI Technologies Inc RS200/RS200M AGP Bridge [IGP 340M] (rev 02)
00:01.0 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc PCI Bridge [IGP 340M]
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon IGP 330M/340M/350M
I'm at a loss of what to do. Any ideas?
Thanks.
