can't enable desktop effects
Ok, running Gutsy on an ATI Radeon HD 3850, I've installed the graphics driver I think, however my system doesn't seem to recognize my video card. When I try to enable compiz effects I get the cannot be enabled message. Movies play fine and I get a constant 90fps with no variation in Warsow. Compiz-check shows...
:~$ compiz-check
