(Get the code!)
I am getting "Desktop effects could not be enabled" trying to select "Normal" effects with my ATI Mobility X1400 card. I know that 3D acceleration works, glxgears works like a charm. I think the error message should have a "Details..." section, since the cause of the problem is known (the driver is not whitelisted):
uga@uga-laptop:~$ compiz
Checking for Xgl: not present.
No whitelisted driver found
aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity
