Quick question for anyone who can help me.
I've just installed Ubuntu yesterday, haha, total n00b, and all. But I've already got my dual head card running, the only problem is that, when i run compiz check, i get this.
I'm pretty sure my video card should be able to handle the "cube" and such. The cube's not really important to me, but yes I did see it on youtube, and i was intrigued, but i was interested in Linux before that. Mainly I miss the ability to drag left and right to move workspaces.Code:Gathering information about your system...

Would you like to know more? (Y/n) y Your resolution is 2560x1024 but the maximum 3D texture size that your graphics card is capable of is 2048x2048. Thus Compiz won't be able to run on this setup. You have to decrease the resolution first (in case you are using a dual-head setup, try disabling one monitor and run the script again).
Please Help?
joshreluctant, I'm not really sure what your question is. Could you please rephrase it?
Hello All,
This is my first time posting and I am very new to Ubuntu. I am trying to use the amazing visual effects of Compiz-Fusion. However every time i attempt to change my visual effects settings in preferences I get a message saying "desktop effects could not be enabled". Please help. Here are the results of Compiz-Check.

You seem to have problems with bothandCode:fglrxinfoplease post both outputs, when running them in a terminal -- and use the forum's [CODE] tag please (# button)Code:glxinfo
Hi Forlong, and thanks for your script.
I tried to check my via driver. I know it doesn't work, but I wanted to try your script anyway.
Well... it just kills my X
When checking for texture_from_pixmap, boom, X dies before I can get any OK or FAIL.
Thought you'd like to know.

Interesting. The script doesn't do anything else but invoking glxinfo at that point of the script.
But you seem to run glxinfo just fine...
I know there are problems with the openchrome driver, that's why I'm skipping tests later on but you are the first having problems with the essential checks.
Can you please run this command (but close all running programs first )
to see if that's the problem?Code:LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 glxinfo
Thanks for the feedback.
Thanx, here is the output of the two codes
Code:fglrxinfo: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directoryCode:glxinfo: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
