Bug Description
[Problem]
As can be seen at http://
Render-based compositers (like metacity) should work fine, at least as of 6.11.0.
[Original Report]
I am using the Intrepid Ibex prerelease (fully up to date as at 7 Oct 2008). My laptop is a Gateway M-Series, with a Core 2 Duo...and an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 graphics card.
When I attempt to enable desktop effects, I get a message that "Desktop effects could not be enabled."

daniel, is this still an issue for you?
can you try with an empty xorg.conf file?
assigning to the xserver- xorg-video- ati package
