I知 wondering if you guys can help me. I got tired of the near-constant lockups from Hardy, so I went back to Gutsy, on both my laptop and PC, and now I知 having some issues with the compositing. I want to use the XFWM native compositing, just so cairo-dock looks good, but on the laptop after I installed the restricted drivers for my ATI card, the composite tab has disappeared!

On my PC, with an nVidia GS 8400 card and using restricted drivers, when I turn on composite I get some blank grey screens. I can hit [CTRL]+[ALT]+[Backspace] to kill X and I can see my wallpaper right before it goes down.

I値l add that on Hardy, both machines were working beautifully with native compositing turned on (except for the lockups of course, which caused me to have to repair the file system on the laptop more than couple times), so I know they are capable of doing it, I just need to figure out how to do it.

I知 not home ATM, so if you suggest anything I値l try it when I get home tonight, thanks!
