Did you install the compiz manager? There you can activate/deactivate all the effects.

Francois: beryl and unofficial compiz-fusion have extra plugins that are missing in ubuntu and should be provided in universe. For example, this compiz-fusion repository for feisty has them

deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb feisty eyecandy

but note I _don't_ advice to mix that repository with the original one. Perhaps taking sources from there and requesting MOTUs to package would be a good idea.
