I have an HP Pavilion laptop running Xubuntu 11.04. It has an Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02) chipset. The driver I'm using is a vesa driver. I ran a check from compiz-check.com to see if my computer could run compiz and it said that I don't have the right driver to run it. It asked if I wanted to check for any proprietary drivers, I ran the check and it came back with nothing. I used to have Ubuntu 9.10 on this same laptop and it ran compiz no problem so I'm a little confused why it won't work with the newer version. Is there something I'm missing? Maybe another driver out there I can try? And if there's really nothing I can do, is there anything out there comparable to compiz that my computer could run? I've been hesitant to upgrade from 9.10 because I ran into this problem with 10.04 so I went back to Karmic and stuck with it until they weren't updating it anymore. Thanks to anyone that can help me out with this, I really appreciate it.

The intel driver works with that chip.

If you mess up xorg then you'll have no GUI. So back it up before you change it.

Thanks for the help, I was able to get the driver just fine but now when I look for my xorg.conf file, it's not there. I tried running a search for it and nothing. Any ideas? I'm not sure what to do, all the info you sent me says I need to change that file but it's not there...
