compiz help

[lledurt]

Thanks for your help in advance.

I am having trouble enabling visual effects on 7.04

Every time I change it to anythign other than none I get a window "Desktop Effects could not be enabled"

I have 3 monitors so I had to modify my xorg.conf manually(Xinerama).
I have the same problem on my 2 monitor machine (twinview)

I am using the nvidia driver. I am guessing it is one of my options that I have enabled in the xorg.conf file.

I have heard barrel does not work with Xinerama, but I thought compiz does?

Attached is my xorg.conf file

I tried to attach my output of dpkg -l but the file was too large.

Thanks for your help in advance

Unfortunately, Xinerama will not work with Compiz. Use TwinView instead, that works better, in my experience, plus, you will be able to use Compiz.
