Compiz doesn't work since installing Jaunty

[yknivag]

I've just resurrected an old PC which was running Gutsy. As that release is no longer supported I wiped it off and installed Jaunty. Before I did, Compiz was working perfectly (I had glassy wobbly windows, trasparency, a rotating cube etc).

Now I've installed Jaunty (on exactly the same hardware) it wont start.

The graphics are provided by an onboard Intel device, as below:


gavin@wrist:~$ sudo lshw -C video
[sudo] password for gavin:
*-display UNCLAIMED
description: VGA compatible controller
product: 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller
vendor: Intel Corporation
physical id: 2
bus info: pci@0000:00:02.0
version: 02

clock: 33MHz

configuration: latency=0
gavin@wrist:~$


Have the minimum requirements for Compiz changed? :(

There are issues with Intel video drivers under Jaunty. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582

Thanks oldos2er.

This seems a very backward step as the hardware was fully supported in Gutsy! Looks like it's back to Hardy! :(

I followed the steps in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 but far from improving the situation, it stopped my graphics card working completely.

Guess I'm going to have to drop back to Hardy or Intrepid.

Anyone know which release broke these cards?

EDIT: I've filed Bug #445874 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/445874). I hope there is a chance of fixing this for Karmic!
