Thread: Video drivers for Intel 945GM - compiz not working

i'm trying compiz working on laptop can't seem going. compiz worked fine under jaunty on upgrade cannot enabled (selecting normal visual effects in appearance preferences returns "desktop effects not enabled" error).

details:
i'm using dell inspiron 640m laptop.

code:

$lspci -nn | grep vga  00:02.0 vga compatible controller [0300]: intel corporation mobile 945gm/gms, 943/940gml express integrated graphics controller [8086:27a2] (rev 03)

code:

$ ./compiz-check     gathering information system...     distribution:          ubuntu 9.10   desktop environment:   gnome   graphics chip:         intel corporation mobile 945gm/gms, 943/940gml express integrated graphics controller (rev 03)   driver in use:         intel   rendering method:      none    checking if it's possible run compiz on system...  [skip]     checking hardware/setup problems...           [skip]    @ least 1 check had skipped:   error: no rendering method in use (aiglx, xgl or nvidia)

things i've tried:
reinstalling xserver-xorg-video-intel
intalling xserver-xorg-video-xxx find (probably not idea)
looked around dell.com linux news find iso 9.04.

if give @ i'd appreciate it!
