Comment 38 for bug 124519

I hate to add another "me too" but that's about all the information I have.

I'm encountering this problem on Intrepid with an Intel GMA 945.

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)

aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity

Big difference for me when skipping the checks, though. The screen goes white. I can't see anything on the desktop, but I /can/ rotate the cube and see it /attempting/ to rotate the cube (not the most powerful machine in dual screen mode).

Direct rendering is on; glxgears works fine.

I've got a 1440x900 LVDS display and a 1440x900 VGA display. It's a HP-branded Compaq nc6400.
