    Problem with compiz-fusion in ubuntu 9.10

    Hi all

    I'm using ubuntu 9.10;

    I wanna add "compiz-fusion" effects to it, but I've not arrived yet!

    I decided to "Complete-Remove" all packages related to "compiz" in synaptic and then installed all of them again.

    But now I can't select the Extra or Custom option in the "System> Appearance> Visual effects" part and I face the message:

    "Desktop effects could not be enabled"

    I think this is because once I removed "completely" the related component, so the appropriate driver isn't found!

    Is there any way to solve this problem?

    Which files has my system lost?

    I searched the ubuntu help and couldn't find the correct answer!

    Please help me...

    Regards.

    Which Graphics Card do you have? Have you installed its driver?
    Execute this in Terminal
    Code:
    sudo lspci | grep -i vga
    grep -i driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    Post output here.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    I have "Intel GMA 950" Graphics Card.

    I've run "sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel" in terminal to install the related drivers and the result was as below:
    Code:
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree       
    Reading state information... Done
    xserver-xorg-video-intel is already the newest version.
    The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
      libalut0 libhildon-1-0
    Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
    0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
    But the problem isn't resolved yet!

    I also executed your commands in terminal and the result was:

    Code:
    ~$ sudo lspci | grep -i vga 
    00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
    
    ~$ grep -i driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    grep: /etc/X11/xorg.conf: No such file or directory
    What's the solution?

    Regards.
