I've been unsuccessful after trying most all advise I can find on getting Compiz to work on Jaunty 9.04, with the ATI driver and dual-head running. When trying to enable effects, I get "The Composite extension is not available". Here is some additional info:


# 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.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
