Compiz Fusion Rain Effect

[chessercizes]

Hey everyone,

So I finally got back onto ubuntu after having been too lazy to use it for the last year!! But it seems I've forgotten how to do everything XD.

I had a quick question about Compiz Fusion's rain effect. I have installed compiz fusion and the CCSM, and I enabled the rain effect. However when I go to initiate it (Shift + F9) my screen just goes dim and nothing happens.

My laptop has an ATI Radeon HD 5730 and I've installed the restricted drivers for it.

Could someone maybe shed some light on why I'm having this problem? I seem to be able to use a lot of the other compiz fusion features okay, like rotating the cube and wobbly windows. (Though on a side note, could someone help me figure out where to change the option so I can rotate the cube with my mouse wheel?)

Thank you guys very much and I'm glad to be back to linux finally!!

Same here, proprietary fglrx driver (10.07 I guess) and HD57xx. And it does the same as you: it becomes of a strange dark colour, but no rain at all

I can't understand, fire works a treat
