Compiz Fusion - Unbuntu, Lunix or Beryl?

Yeah, I had an intel beta driver for it, and it ran, just not that well. The eye candy is cool though. If you really want it, get a system with an nvidia card, they seem to have the best Linux driver support out there that I have seen.

Would that driver work for my chipset?

I could run it on my main computer, but I don't think I really want to be dual booting OS'

It didn't run that well on my laptop, it worked though. I had the 3D cube and could use the cool effects but it looked like crap because the driver was crap. Like I said, you most likely want to run it on an ATI or Nvidia card.

Did you check the Restricted Drivers Manager?
