Compiz with SiS graphics driver
:confused: I would like to use Compiz with the SiS 315PRO Graphics Card I have in my desktop, running Ubuntu 9.04 (i386). I ran "compiz-check" to check compatibility and got the following output:
Code:
Gathering information about your system...

There has been (at least) one error detected with your setup:
Error: Software Rasterizer in use
It seems to be all Ok, execpt for the fact that "Software Rasterizer" is in use. Well, my problem is that I don't know where this has been set up and how to change it, if possible. My "xorg.conf file reads ...

This configuration file was in use for a "vesa" driver, to solve original problems of resolution, as the system did not recognised automatically my SiS driver. After much search I realized that the SiS driver was already in place and I just switched "vesa" for "sis".
Does anyone know if and how I can correct this problem?
TIA
