I am running 8.04 on a Compaq NC8000.
It has an ATI Mobility Radeon 9600.
The graphix HW seems unable to run any Desktop effects on this laptop.
Is there a way for me to have Compiz run on this hardware? Please help! :confused:

Can you understand German? Then look here:

Just try if it works when you type in console


SKIP_CHECKS=yes compiz --replace

When that works, create yourself a file under


~/.config/compiz/compiz-manager

and write in it:


SKIP_CHECKS=yes
