Two days ago compiz effects stopped working on my machine for no apparent reason. When I attempt to enable them on the 'Appearance' menu, an error message pops up saying that desktop effects could not be started. Starting compiz from the CLI reports: Checking for Xgl: not present. Detected PCI ID for VGA: Checking for texture_from_pixmap: not present. Trying again with indirect rendering: Checking for texture_from_pixmap: present. Checking for non power of two support: present. Checking for Composite extension: present. Comparing resolution (1280x800) to maximum 3D texture size (2048): Passed.

Update: Problem was resolved by removing the "Virtual" section on Xorg.conf. Nontheless a regular user who had no idea about this file wouldn't have known about this. The "Virtual" section was added when I attached another monitor and extended my desktop with it. Could a feature request be included for Desktop Effects so that the user may know when the virtual resolution of a desktop is too large to be supported by the video card?
