I have confirmed this works on Linux Mint-10-Julia, Ubuntu 10.04 & 10.10, as well as Kubuntu 10.10 if you want to use Compiz in a KDE environment.

It has also worked for others with different Intel cards, although not all of them.


1) After install, work in a tty (Control + Alt + F1). and remove the following.
 

 sudo aptitude remove compiz compiz-core

2) After that, reinstall/install the following.
 

 sudo apt-get install compiz compiz-core fusion-icon emerald simple-ccsm

 

3) Back to the graphic environment (Ctrl + Alt + F7) and run Compiz Fusion Icon (Menu > System tools > Compiz Fusion Icon.

4) The compiz fusion icon should appear in your notification bar, right click -> Compiz options -> Indirect Rendering

5) Select Window Manager >Compiz<

6) Run compiz icon at the start-up:

Menu > Preferences > Start up apps > Add
Name: Compiz Fusion Icon
Command: fusion-icon -f
Comment: Stop freezing problem (optional)


7) Reboot

 Once again in the desktop, Compiz should work properly. Configure it with
 

 simple-ccsm
