I decided to throw caution to the wind and upgrade to Hardy the first day it came out.* Overall I like it.* The OS seems a bit faster on certain things and I'm overjoyed that finally, I can properly share a folder on my laptop on the network (don't laugh).* In my eagerness to test out desktop effects, I enabled it knowing full well my T23 couldn't handle it and has an unsupported graphics chip.* It tried to enable it and then gave me the error that desktop effects couldn't be enabled however I think it turned on the default compositer when it attempted to start compiz, and then forgot to turn it off.* Apparently Hardy doesn't use xcompmgr for this and I don't know how to disable compositing.


1. What is the compositing manager that hardy defaults to?

2. I might be able to figure this out but, what command can I use to turn it off?

As always thanks in advance for any help.

I did this first.* Visual effects are disabled however I still have the black shadows and attempt at fading around windows that came whenever I manually started xcompmgr -cCfF.* I really wouldn't mind but it screws around with video playback.


Thanks again.

Hmmm, sorry, no idea then, I haven't seen this issue.
