Many laptops these days come pre-equipped with an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator and many of you are probably hoping that Compiz Fusion will work on this. By default the GMA 956 driver is blacklisted because of a video playblack issue. This is true. So if you are an avid video watcher (especially on totem or xine) You may not want to install Compiz Fusion until the drivwer has been fixed (Hopefully by Hardy Heron). But if you are like me and just have to have Compiz Fusion follow these steps:
1. Check and Install or Software Updates.
2. Open up the terminal and type in the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
gksudo gedit /usr/bin/compiz Note: You may be asked for a password.
3. add a [#] before [T="$T 8086:2982 8086:2992 8086:29a2 8086:2a02 8086:2a12" # intel 965]
remove the [].
4. Restart your computer.
That’s it. You should now be able to start compiz by going to System > Prefrences > Appearance > Visual Effects.
