I recently tried to get compiz working on my laptop; a Toshiba u300 running Ubuntu 7.10 “Gutsy Gibbon”. The Toshiba U300 uses the Intel 965GM chipset which doesn’t seem to be compatible with compiz. After some digging I discovered a repository that contains a modified xorg-xserver-video-intel package. This combined with the 915resolution package allowed me ues the native 1280 * 800 resolution, and enable compiz desktop effects.

# as root / sudo

echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kyle/ubuntu gutsy main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list"

apt-get update

apt-get upgrade

apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel

dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

One reboot later and all was well.
