I have been having a very horrible time trying to get compiz fusion working on my Macbook 4,1. Apparently my graphics driver got blacklisted during the upgrade to jaunty, but attempting to skip the blacklist check still fails.
I ran the compatibility script from here:
http://forlong.blogage.de/entries/pages/Compiz-Check
and produced this output:
Code:
Distribution: Ubuntu 9.04
Desktop environment: GNOME
Graphics chip: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
Driver in use: intel
Rendering method: AIGLX
Checking if it's possible to run Compiz on your system...
Checking for texture_from_pixmap... [ OK ]
Checking for non power of two support... [ OK ]
Checking for composite extension... [ OK ]
Checking for FBConfig... [ OK ]
Checking for hardware/setup problems... [ OK ]
So, it seems like things should work fine. So then I try
Which produces:
Code:
Checking for Xgl: not present.
xset q doesn't reveal the location of the log file. Using fallback /var/log/Xorg.0.log
Detected PCI ID for VGA:

Couldn't find a perfect decorator match; trying all decorators
Found no decorator to start
At this time, I cannot enable any visual effects. I head over to this thread, and follow the instructions, to see if I can get things working:

So, now I can go into my appearance settings and select graphics options, they do not take effect. When I go to look at them, they are set back to "None"
In addition, the upgrading of the kernel from the last thread also disabled my wireless.
Someone please help me get compiz working. I *really* want to have a transparent terminal again.
