Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

Compiz did work fine on my laptop (Sony Vaio sz4mn) until recently when I 
switched off dektop effects (to test netbeans).
When trying to re-enable them, gnome-appearance-properties states that "Desktop 
effects could not be enabled".

The video chipset is an Intel 945GM:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 
943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) (prog-if 00 [VGA

More precisely, gnome-appearance-properties says:

composite extension.

/usr/bin/compiz.real (core) - Error: Could not acquire compositing manager

Trying to run compiz.real --replace from a shell gives this error:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ compiz.real --replace
compiz.real (core) - Fatal: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing

Notice glxinfo thinks it is present...

Might be related to #216570 ?
