Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G] and Ubuntu 10-10 Compiz issues.

[uncle-c]

Hi,
Apologies for this old chestnut but I did manage to get compiz working well on Ubuntu 8.10 and wanted to know if anyone has got it to work on Ubuntu 10.10 with the above intel graphics ? I've used several methods to skip the blacklist check including making a compiz-manager config file with a skip_check=yes line and also editing the compiz file with a hex editor :

Unfortunately none of these methods work.
I've run the compiz-check script and it suggests that compiz should work.

All the intel drivers are up to date.Should I make specific changes to my xorg.conf file ?

Hello,

I can't answer your question, so sorry if this is a waste of your time.

I've had difficulties with this chipset using Ubuntu 10.04, so I've upgraded to 10.10 and so far so good.

Has this chipset been working well for you using Ubuntu 10.10 (except for the compiz problem)? It would be very helpful to get a quick answer on this before I return the machine to it's owner, and I'd like to return it as soon as possible.

You're input would be greatly appreciated :)

Peace,
Steve
