Problems running compiz-fusion

[feddozz]

Hello guys,
as from title, compiz does not work on my portege M400 since i installed ubuntu 9.04.

I run compiz-check and that's the result:


Gathering information about your system...

Distribution: Ubuntu 9.04
Desktop environment: GNOME
Graphics chip: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (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... [FAIL]

There has been (at least) one error detected with your setup:
Error: Software Rasterizer in use


There must be some drivers problems. Please keep in mind that compiz was working with ubuntu 8.10.

I tried to search before posting but I didn'yt get too much out of it.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

What does xorg.conf look like:


sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf x.file

Paste x.file up here please.

Hi
thanks for your help.
I executed the cp command but I can't open x.file with gedit to paste it.
Can I upload the file instead?
Tnx

open a terminal and type :


gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

instead.

also; without looking at your xorg.conf , I'm thinking you don't have the proprietary drivers installed;
Go to System> Administration > Hardware Drivers

Here's my xorg.conf


# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.

# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.

# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated

BTW I could copy the xorg.cof. I was asked the x.file.

In my hardware drivers I just have a line saying 'software modem'.

tnx

Sorry about that I have my permissions set up a little different in my user directory. cp just made a copy of xorg.conf and put in your user directory as x.file.

Anyhow you'll need to change Virtual 2560 1024 to Virtual 1400 1050 and that should work with your chipset.


gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Then save and restart.
