Dan (danser) wrote : compiz blacklist confused by additional video card

Binary package hint: compiz

I have:

djs@scilly:~$ lspci|egrep '(VGA|Display)'
00:02.0 Display controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01)
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:
