Bug Description

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

I can't compiz effects to work. I ran the compiz check script and it produced the following output:

Gathering information about your system...

 Distribution: Ubuntu 9.04
 Desktop environment: GNOME
 Graphics chip: ATI Technologies Inc RC410 [Radeon Xpress 200M]
 Driver in use: radeon
 Rendering method: None

Checking if it's possible to run Compiz on your system... [SKIP]

 Checking for hardware/setup problems... [SKIP]

At least one check had to be skipped:
 Error: No rendering method in use (AIGLX, Xgl or Nvidia)

I've tried downloading and installing the driver directly from ATI but when I reboot Ubuntu runs is low graphic mode and the x-org config file has to be reset to default

I'm sorry. The problem was resolved when I switched to the open source driver. I was informed that Xorg1.6 is incompatible with the old ATI drivers and ATI is only supporting newer cards.
