Intel GM965 on Ubuntu 9.04

Post date: 25-Apr-2009 04:01:32

Today I install the new distribution release of Ubuntu, Jaunty 9.04.

When I wanted to try the compiz effects, they do not work (at all!). What was happening if they works great on Intrepid?

Problem.

The graphic card (Intel GM965) has been blacklisted.

Solution

Open a terminal and type

[> gksu gedit /usr/bin/compiz

(you'll be asked for the root password) and search in the file for the words Intel GM965. At the beginning of that line introduce a # symbol, and save the changes.

Finally, reboot the system.

Enjoy!
