I am using Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat.I saw videos of using compiz in Ubuntu so I want to install compiz on my system. I don't have a dedicated graphics card in my laptop but a shared one with a total RAM of 3 GB. Whetherit will work on my laptop with shared graphic card or not? and also want to know how to use compiz that is how to configure it?

I think it will work. You dont have to run it on the highest level ;)
But i think it will work quite good.
So there is a graphical tool to configurate compiz.
I think this (http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/compiz)will help.

Like everything enabled.
But try that scipt wojox posted before. It should tell you if you can use compiz.
