I installed Docky and I get a message to enable composing. I am not finding anything about Enabling composing. Can someone point me in the right direction.
I did follow these instructions on Compiz for Intel cards but still get an error.

Re: Enabling composing for Docky
If you are having difficulty enabling Compiz, you could try opening "Desktop Settings" in the Control Panel and enabling Gnome compositing in the Windows tab. I have found that this works as well as Compiz for Docky and AWN dock and it is much less of a resource hog.

Re: Enabling composing for Docky
FYI: Desktop Effects are NOT entirely necessary for compositing:
Open the GNOME Configuration Editor; press Alt-F2 to open the Run Application dialog and type gconf-editor. Click Run. Navigate to Apps->metacity->general. Check the compositing_manager box, and Metacity will immediately restart with compositing!
docky will complain no more.
Done.
