SIS 771/671 Compiz

[Vainone]

Im running an Emachines 1212 laptop with a SIS 771/671 graphics chipset...

I've run compiz check and it had thrown up this :

Gathering information about your system...

Checking for texture_from_pixmap... [ OK ]

Checking for hardware/setup problems... [FAIL]

There has been (at least) one error detected with your setup:

I've looked around, and apparently software rasterizer is bad ? lol
Just want to know if there is any way of running compiz at all or should i leave it.

Running compiz doesn't work because there are no 3d drivers for the sis mirage 771/671

Come have a talk here.
