3d Cube dont work

[bartje545]

Hello,
I have installed Linux a few days ago. I saw at va video at youtube nice effects (like the 3d cube) but I can not do that. I have searched the internet, and I find that I have to put in the terminal:

~$ compiz --replaceI do that, and I get the following output:

Checking for Xgl: not present.
xset q doesn't reveal the location of the log file. Using fallback /var/log/Xorg.0.log

I press ctrl alt left mouse to get the cube.

Thank you,

Hi and welcome, what is the model of the graphics card? You may use the command
lspci in the terminal witch is located under applications, accessories. Look for VGA.
