    notanerd, it would likely help if you have a default xorg.conf file. See here - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=690760
    Are you using restricted drivers? If so, how did you install them?

    I ran dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but their was no prompt in it to select a video driver. Regardless my xorg.conf has been changed but I am still having the same problem. I was using catalyst 9.3 for a while but the video playback sucked so i purged fglrx and installed the open source driver with apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-ati

    Are you using Hardy, or some other release of Ubuntu? Can you please post the output of:
    Code:
    lspci | grep VGA
    lsmod | grep fglrx
    lsmod | grep radeon
    glxinfo | grep direct

    In the past couple of years, I have seen a number of people having problems specifically with their Radeon 9600 cards - some people's work, others' simply don't. I'm afraid I don't have a solution for you, so I won't drag this out here. I suggest that you start a new thread specifically for your problem as this one is meant for Hardy and enabling compiz to run, not troubleshooting it. Sorry, and good luck.

    No worries, thanks for your effort anyway. I think it is a lost cause, and I don't care that much really. I can live without fancy effects.
