Hey, thanks for the info! Here's the output of 'fgrep drivers/ /var/log/Xorg.0.log' on my system:
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//intel_drv.so (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//fbdev_drv.so (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//vesa_drv.so (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//vga_drv.so (II) Unloading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//fbdev_drv.so (II) Unloading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//vesa_drv.so (II) Unloading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//vga_drv.so So, am guessing that 'intel' is the driver loaded?? Mostlikely. I see that in System -> Preferences -> Appearance, Extra effects do get loaded without an issue. Will try and enable compiz and see what I get. Will keep you updated. Regards, Radha.
