I just installed GNOME Daryna.
In Hardy Heron, I can use the cube, wobbly effects and all compiz stuff. I couldn't do this in 7.10 ubuntu or now, in Daryna. Question is WHY.
I can see several posts about the Intel 9xx group on the forum, but nobody seems to mention that this works PERFECT in ubuntu.
Does anybody have a clue what the difference could be, and what I need to do to run compiz in Mint?
My lshw:

(By the way, why are there 2 entries for the graphics card?)
My xorg.conf:
- Code: Select all

Anybody spotting a solution here wins an internet hug.
EDIT: Hug to Husse, and JackJack for solution: http://www.linuxmint.com/forum/viewtopi ... 59&t=10821
Manually editing the config file for compiz:
- Code: Select all
sudo nano /usr/bin/compiz
And then I put a # in front of the code line where it says intel G965, that way, that line is not treated as something executable, and if you **** up, you can always delete the # later.
- Code: Select all
# blacklist based on the pci ids
# See http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/Hardware/Blacklist for details

BLACKLIST_PCIIDS="$T"
unset T
I should've spotted this solution, if I had known which intel card I have and not just the chipset.
But thanx, anyway. If anybody does like me and searches for intel 965, just remove the blacklisting, it works fine so far.
