Would you like to know more? (Y/n) Y

The nv driver is not capable of running Compiz, you need to install the
latest nouveau or the proprietary nvidia driver

ok did more reaserch and this is what i saw. is this the problem if so how do i fix it?

Run
SKIP_CHECKS=yes compiz and see what it tells you.

EDIT: Ah, I see you already found the compiz-check script :)
I don't really know what to tell you...

ok nvm. i found out that if you install the right driver then log out/in then you will have a nasty looking (lol big screen) and i dont like that. thanks anyway.
