Thanks for the info Ted, and to the rest of you for trying. I did the suggested rm -rf /home/yourusername/.config/compiz* and there was no change. There really wasn't much in the /home/bob/.config/compiz/compizconfig/config except "[kde_session] profile =" I've also done the ctrl +alt+ right/left arrow which will rotate the screen. Still don't get a cube. I also did the following which was suggested and this is what I got. Easystreet:/ # gnome-xgl-settings --disable xgl bash: gnome-xgl-settings: command not found Easystreet:/ # Now, Ted, I don't get a "ribbon" as you state. My display is full screen. I do get a "ribbon" (about 1/3 screen height) horizontally across the center of the screen which displays the other apps which would be open on the cube when I do a ctrl+alt+down arrow and will remain as long as I hold down the ctrl+alt keys. Then I can continue holding the ctrl+alt and do a left or right arrow and the focus of the center app will change. Think there could be a problem with the 100.14.19 driver?
