Okay, so upgraded from Hardy to the latest version (Jaunty) which solved a ton of problems BUT, it seemed to break Compiz,
whenever I would try to enable any effects it would say, "searching for drivers 0%" then fail.
So I did the Compiz check and got this (sort of):
Gathering information about your system...
Distribution: Ubuntu 9.04
Desktop environment: GNOME
Graphics chip: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 03)
Driver in use: intel
Rendering method: AIGLX
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 ]
Checking for composite extension... [ OK ]
Checking for FBConfig... [ OK ]
Checking for hardware/setup problems... [ OK ]
this is actualy what it says now,
but before, the line, " Checking for hardware/setup problems... " said that my graphics card had been backlisted, so I said yes to unbacklisting it because I figured, hey it worked before it's probably just a false alarm.
NOW, when I try to enable compiz in any way, everything on my desktop disappears (windows, top and botom bar) and doesn't come back,
except for my mouse which I can move and my background,
but keyboard doesn't respond to anything even CTRL+ALT f1-f12, so I'm forced to just pull the plug.
I've looked around a lot and haven't found an answer, I think it might be related to my chip being Intel, but I honestly don't know how to fix this problem.
Also I looked on my System>Administration>Hardware Drivers and it doesn't list anything, I was wondering if that was normal.
is there any way I could move to the old version (of compiz or the driver or whatever), because that worked.
