I'm trying to get Compiz (the one that came with Ubuntu 7.04) running on my laptop. My laptop uses an ATi Rage Mobility 128 M3 (16MB). I know that's pretty weak but it renders 3d screensavers OK and OpenGL is working fine. I tried the following:
adam@adam-laptop-ubuntu:~$ compiz --replace
/usr/bin/compiz.real: Root visual is not a double buffered GL visual
/usr/bin/compiz.real: Failed to manage screen: 0
/usr/bin/compiz.real: No manageable screens found on display :0.0
Window manager warning: "" found in configuration database is not a valid value for keybinding "toggle_shaded"
I'm using the r128 driver with these options:
