Intel graphics restored on Ubuntu Jaunty.. Compiz works!
June 23rd, 2009
With the new Intel drivers on Ubuntu Jaunty, the Compiz was prone to crash frequently. The Ubuntu developers had pushed certain Intel chipsets into blacklist, hence no compiz or the desktop effects for Intel users on Jaunty. There were a couple of workarounds to enable the compiz effects (See my post here), but they are workarounds - each one having it’s own pros and cons.
Today Ubuntu team pushed new updates, and one of the update related to the Intel graphics. The blacklist entries have been removed now, and the new Intel graphics driver works flawlessly with Compiz and the desktop effects. Waiting for this from a long time, Thanks a lot Ubuntu team!
