Hi,
I plugged a monitor into my laptop after it had booted into Ubuntu 8.10 and went to change it from the laptop's display to the monitor (since it's bigger and less broken...) and it prompted me that I needed to change the virtual resolution. It asked if it could take care of that for me, so I told it yes... Then all the effects were disabled. Under System > Appearances > Visual Effects tab, "No Effects" was marked and when I try to change it, it tells me "Desktop effects could not be enabled" and that's it. What's strange is that it's asked to change the Virtual Resolution before without this issue. Perhaps something else is amiss, but I'm completely new to this. Thanks in advance for your help.
