I am using 9.04. Yesterday I have run an update and noticed, that compiz was updated. Today, when I run again my Ubuntu, all those cool desktop effects were lost. I run compiz-check, but really have no idea where to go from here.

compiz-check:


gruszczy@gruszczy-laptop:~$ ./compiz-check

Gathering information about your system...

Distribution: Ubuntu 9.04
Desktop environment: GNOME
Graphics chip: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c)

Checking if it's possible to run Compiz on your system...

Checking for texture_from_pixmap... [ OK ]
Checking for non power of two support... [ OK ]

Your particular graphics chip may be blacklisted on certain distributions.
However that does not necessarily mean you will not be able to run Compiz.

You can skip this blacklist -- but keep in mind that you did so.
Do not complain if you encounter any problems with Compiz afterwards.

Do you want to skip blacklist checks by Compiz? (y/N) n

Bump! Anyone noticed similar issues and found a solution?

Can it be related to my intel drivers?

When I run compiz --replace I got:

Checking for Xgl: not present.

I tried to google that, but found nothing that helped.

EDIT2: It seems my driver was 'blacklisted', what this means in this context. The workaround was to skip checking something. But why was it working in the first place?
