Well, obviously a typical user doesn't mind about the question behind the issue but if gnome-appearance-properties should ask him a question as
"Your graphic card is not compatible with the effects you want to enable. However you can force this at your own risk. Do you want to enable anyway the effects?" a standard user would surely understand this and I think it should be very useful and would make Ubuntu more user-friendly than now about this aspect. Moreover bug #359392 proves two things: - not every blacklisted card is really bugged (in fact I had never a problem, in Hardy, with my Intel card that is blacklisted); - the number of posts shows that the issue is very annoying Another workaround could be to show to the user the steps he has to do to enable the effects or, at least, the link to the wiki page (http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/Hardware/Blacklist) that include them. -- gnome-appearance-properties should allows to enable effects even if graphic card is blacklisted https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/383766 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
