if it is worth it to get compiz working.
See to it that you have proper drivers and then test - it's very simple to turn compiz on/off
gstreamer-properties no Xv seems not to have serious side effects, but I can't be sure

If you goto the mintMenu, Administration, Screen and Graphics Preferences, you'll see the Screen and Graphics Card tabs. Go to the Graphics Cards tab, and try choosing the Intel Integrated Graphics Chipset. It worked for my laptop running the Mobile Intel 965GM Express Chipset. If that doesn't work, play around with trying the other drivers available.

when you get into your desktop, stop the xserver (your desktop environment) I don't remember the exact command off the top of my head, i think it's something like

Code: Select all

stop xserver
in console, someone knows the command, and then when you are in the command line interface, enter this

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
that will restore your original xorg file, the default that Mint ships out with, then you start to work on the original issue again.
As for a solution to that, not sure, never used intel gfx cards. Now if it was an ATI card, that I could get you going with :lol: :mrgreen:

That card is finely supported with 3D (intel driver), you just need a simple script (something like compiz --replace force or something) I found it over at ThinkWiki, but I can't seem to find it again. Try searching their wiki

I'm not sure, as I said I wasn't able to find it, but I used it with great success in Mint and Ubuntu. Can't say that anything has changed the few months since I last used it, but I might be wrong. Maybe the blacklisted card list in Compiz is new, I have no idea...

Sorry to revive this old topic, but if OT is still around I finally found the script I was talking about:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
SKIP_CHECKS=yes compiz --replace
Save this in a file called x3100.sh or compiz.sh or whatever, then run it from a terminal window:

Code: Select all

sh /path/to/file/compiz.sh
If you want to autostart compiz on boot, just add this to the Sessions dialog.

I have notebook Dell Vostro 500 with this graphic card. Compiz work fine on LinuxMint6. But when I trying to run Sauerbraten, it`s does`t run( In readme for this game I found, that it doesn`t work with MESA drivers for graphic cards. In glxinfo I see that I have MESA drivers. How can I change MESA drivers to another and where I can get them?

Yeah - please start a new topic - you can't be certain to even get noticed if you add yourself to something that has been inactive for half a year
