Enable your graphic card in System > Administration > Hardware Drivers.

Also go to System->Preferences->Appearance->Visual Effects

Try to enable them there. If they will not enable and you cannot enable your card the post the output of this command which you can type into a terminal


lshw -C display

im not seeing the option in system settings it use to be compiz or somthing you have enable i made sure it is installed...any idea? I checked hardware drivers and says no proprietary hardware divers found?

[skiddly]

thanks done that driver downloaded now how do i get the cube on screen and decide what is on each side of cube

[watsgoodg]

figured it out...go to add remove programs and do a search for compiz manager...or you can just use terminal

sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
