Desktop effects : Composite not available



Most of the times when you want some special effects for your desktop you get this message.
To sort this out you can do the following:

Change the last part of the composite value to 1 instead of 0 in the file xorg.conf

To do this you will need to type the following on the terminal :

sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Then the next step is to follow up with this installation:

sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl

sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

After you are through with this. Restart X by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Backspace

There you are !!!

Enjoy the great desktop effects :)
