Comment 19 for bug 565407

OK all, forget the previous update, I have managed to execute tjhe proposed workaround but I'm now facing the following:

According to the driver manager (System-Administration-Hardware Drivers) the propriatary fglrx driver is available AND enabled. However, when I want to enable visual effects there's a long driver search resulting in 'desktop effects could not be enabled'.

Running Forlong's compiz-check script (http://forlong.blogage.de/entries/pages/Compiz-Check) gives the following output:

---------------------------------------------------

./compiz-check

Gathering information about your system...

 Distribution: Ubuntu 10.04

 Graphics chip: ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon HD 2400
 Driver in use: radeon
 Rendering method: None

Checking if it's possible to run Compiz on your system... [SKIP]

 Checking for hardware/setup problems... [SKIP]

At least one check had to be skipped:
 Error: No rendering method in use (AIGLX, Xgl or Nvidia)

-----------------------------------------------------

Now what?
