Jaunty's today updates make compiz abort startup
Ive been using Jaunty with compiz for a while, but after I updated my computer today and reestarted, compiz refused to start, saying it was not possible to enable desktop effects (this, through the appearence menu).
Since I hate a compiz-less desktop (metacity alone is no good for me...) I tried to run manually compiz using "compiz --replace". What I got was this:
compiz --replace
Checking for Xgl: not present.
xset q doesn't reveal the location of the log file. Using fallback /var/log/Xorg.0.log
Blacklisted PCIID '8086:2a02' found
aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity
So, I guessed the new updates included a blacklisting for my video card, an intel Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller. I fix this by creating the file ~/.config/
compiz --replace

So my question is...Why all of a sudden is my card blacklisted???? It has worked just perfectly for over a month with Jaunty
