linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-generic
and
linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-*-generic
Both of which had ati drivers. I removed the 2.6.22 restricted modules (which were probably for Gutsy) and rebooted. Everything appears to work again, I can toggle effects off/on and all my compiz stuff seems to be working again.
This worked for me ... your mileage may vary.
Thank you for the feedback, that sounds like it could be useful for others having trouble after a dist upgrade. If you have any other threads in which that method has worked for people, please let me know and I will add it to the original post as a troubleshooting method (assuming it's a solid solution).
Commands would probably be something like
Code:
sudo apt-get remove linux-restricted-modules-*
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r`
