Desktop effects could not be enabled intel graphics

Asked by Patrick Connelly

Hi. I'm fairly new to Linux and Ubuntu so bare with me me. I am running Ubuntu 10.10 on a Toshiba Sattelite L445-S5009. I believe my graphics card is, based on googling the model, a Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 4500M. I'm trying to run Compiz Fusion which it did for a while but now I can't even set the visual effects to normal. It says "Searching for drivers" and then finally "Desktop effects could not be enabled" Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Remember and reverse configuration steps which you did before the issue occured.
Diagnose.
Create a test-user and verify if the non-starting window manager remains.

Can you help with this problem?
