Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-
3d effects won't show up in gutsy beta with a Intel graphics chipset.
To reproduce:
- launch a pc with a G965 motherboard with the gutsy-beta-32bit live cd.
- 3d effects won't work
What I expect:
- 3d effects working
-or-
- some information displayed when the user enables the effects,
regarding why the effects won't work
Note: if this is due to black-listing the driver for the video playback
issue, IMHO it's a shame because the intel driver was the first little
step towards some good stuff for FLOSS in video cards drivers.

Correct, the driver is blacklisted on 965gm due to issues playing video with Xv. You can direct compiz to ignore the blacklist if you want to run it anyway (such as if you don't care about Xv). See http:// wiki.compiz- fusion. org/Hardware/ Blacklist for details.
