OK, so I have spent a couple of days on the most annoying problem with my graphics. First, I try to install AWN. Error comes up saying the compositing program is not working. Check with Compiz and it turns out visual effects are disabled. Try to enable visual effects and it says it was unable to do so. Look online and find recommendations install Xgl. Try installing Xgl and it does not install properly, forcing me to connect my wireless and reinstall Xorg from the command line. I then find that the driver for my graphics card might not be the correct driver. Attempt to install the driver and it comes up with errors saying it cannot find my Xorg modules.

At this point I really have no idea what is going on, and I just want AWN to start working. Here is lshw -C display:

Here is my xorg.conf:

I am running Linux Parent5446-Lapu 2.6.28-6-generic #17-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 30 15:34:36 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux, which is the developing version of Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackelope).

Maybe I'm wrong but in your xorg.conf file dont you need to specify a driver for the Configured Video Device?
That section of my xorg.conf looks like this:
cheers,
jdk

The only problem is I have absolutely no idea what value to put for the driver, and I'm not even sure what driver is installed. And if I try installing Intel's driver, the installation fails.

I'll do some more research, though. Thanks because for some reason I did not think of that. Unfortunately I do not edit xorg.conf enough to know exactly how to work it.

Just as a note to myself, it seems that my xorg.conf has no driver specified, or even a mouse or keyboard. Wierd. And here is the lspci info on my graphics card:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)

OK, my obvious blindness led me to forget the -configure option on Xorg. Anyway, I ran it and loaded the new xorg.conf file. Finally, effects and AWN work perfectly. However, all the title bars on my windows disappeared.

All it took was a simple restart to fix my last problem. Anyway, thanks to everybody for your help.
