from earlier in this thread "There are more that don't work than do work, if compiz is stable for you just start it with SKIP_CHECKS=yes"
however, couldnt there be some sort of gui for this. when you are in preferences>appeareance, and choose normal effects etc, couldnt you be given a warning dialogue that says (similar to when you change resolution): "Your computer doesnt appear to be able to support compiz, do you want to try anyway? Be sure to save all work before pressing continue" which then tries with the checks skipped, and if it works uses compiz from then on, if it doesnt, nothing happens. or something like that. so instead of you having to write a whitelist, let ordinary users try for themselves, but by default have it off Maybe this is just the current state already in the preferences>appearance, i dont know -- need to blacklist xpress200m when using ati driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/197135 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
