Hello, a few weeks ago desktop effects stopped working for me. I believe it was the last week of August that this happened (I noticed it the night I was doing a presentation in front of an audience).
I don't know how to report a bug on this type of problem but I've read through some of the forum posts here and will try to give relevant details. Let me know if I'm missing something, my goal is to either a: fix something I've botched or b: file a bug if it's somethign broken. I'd love to get some help from people with more experience in this.
I'm using the intel 945 based chipset. It's been working fine for a while until recently. When I run glxinfo I get:
glxinfo
name of display: :0.0
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".

My xorg log has these errors:

When I try to enable effects I get this error appended to syslog:

copmiz --replace does something, crashes and then leaves me with no window borders and a desktop that is hard to use.
My xorg.conf was customized a little by me in order to get the synaptics touchpad working the way I like it but even when I replace it with the nearly empty xorg.conf file (via dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg) I get the same results.
