Hi
Desktop effects fails to activate on my Optiplex sx260 cause my Intel video seems blacklisted. I got message Blacklisted PCI ID 8086:2562 detected when I tried compiz --replace
Does any know how to unblacklist my Intel 845G so I can try Compiz effects?
I tried this:

sudo apt-get install ghex
sudo ghex2 /usr/bin/compiz

but cannot find any 8086:2562 string in there.
When I run Compiz check everything looks ok.


~$ /usr/share/checkbox/scripts/compiz-check
