Bug Description

unable to run compiz after upgrade of 4/18/09. it had worked previously. When trying to enable compiz to run using appearance preference - visual effects I get dialog box stating "Desktop effects could not be enabled" is this the same problem as in alpha beta 8.10 of blacklisted Intel graphics boards? I am running intel graphics board on HP Pavilion 9500 laptop.

I have this problem as well. This is the first time I've turned my laptop off and on again since the 18th and suddenly, compiz quit working. I'm going to try this script and see if it helps.

HI Jess

If this script works for you, you will need to run it in your startup
applications.
