Bug Description
Binary package hint: compiz
I have:
djs@scilly:~$ lspci|egrep '(VGA|Display)'
00:02.0 Display controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV44A [GeForce 6200] (rev a1)
The Intel card is blacklisted in Intrepid-updates. However, I am using the nVidia card, not the Intel card. The blacklist check in /usr/bin/compiz just checks for the presence of a blacklisted card, not whether that card is in use, so I see:
Checking for Xgl: not present.
Blacklisted PCIID '8086:2562' found
aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity
where previously I had:
Checking for Xgl: not present.
Detected PCI ID for VGA:
Checking for texture_
Checking for non power of two support: present.
Checking for Composite extension: present.
Comparing resolution (1280x1024
1280x1024) to maximum 3D texture size (4096
4096): /usr/bin/compiz: line 263: [: too many arguments
/usr/bin/compiz: line 263: [: too many arguments
Passed.
Checking for Software Rasterizer: Not present.
Checking for nVidia: present.
Checking for FBConfig: present.
Checking for Xgl: not present.

This bug is still there even in the Lucid Development Branch. I have the same Intel chip however am using a Nvidia FX 5500.
I think there should be some way to skip the checks like you can with Kwin in KDE.
