Just upgraded to Ibex and lost my compiz. I get a "no composite extension" warning and when I try compiz --replace i get this output


Checking for Xgl: not present.
Detected PCI ID for VGA:
Checking for texture_from_pixmap: not present.
Trying again with indirect rendering:
Checking for texture_from_pixmap: present.
Checking for non power of two support: present.
Checking for Composite extension: not present.
aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity
Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0".


What am I missing?

Some thoughts:

1. System > administration > hardware drivers and enable the driver for your card.
2. RT. Click on your desktop > Change desktop background > Visual effects > set to normal or extra
3. Do a compiz-check

Good luck.
