Stop Compiz-Fusion From Loading Automatically
This guide will show you how to stop Compiz-Fusion from loading automatically on startup in Hardy Heron and how to setup a shortcut for launching Compiz when you want.
Step 1: Run gconf-edit
Start Run Application by pressing Alt+F2
Screenshot-Run Application
Enter gconf-editor into the box, hit enter
Step 2: Set Metacity as your default start up window manager
Once in gconf-editor navigate to desktop>gnome>applications>window_manager
Screenshot-Configuration Editor - window_manager
under current and default replace each instance of:
/usr/bin/compiz with /usr/bin/metacity
it should like this when you're done:
Screenshot-Configuration Editor - window_manager-1
Step 3: Create a shortcut for starting Compiz-Fusion
right click the Applications Places System Menu
select the Edit Menu option
Screenshot-Main Menu
pick a location for your shortcut and select New Item box
Screenshot-Launcher Properties
Type: Application
Name: Compiz
Command: compiz --replace
COmment compiz window manager
2 try this:
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg is not the same anymore, now you can install your keybord and more with this.
But your videocard and monitor goes like this,
start in safe mode,
choose the last options with the x,
Here ubuntu will search and identify your monitor and videocard, so you have all your posssible settings.
Then reboot and install your videcard driver.(i use envy for this).

Setup Compiz Fusion with open source ati radeon drivers
Older ATI cards have been blacklisted for Compiz Fusion because of a bug in the driver, but there is an easy workaround for many cards that use the open source ati drivers. Radeon 9500 are the oldest cards to support the restricted "fglrx" drivers, so everything older requires the open source drivers to function properly.
First edit the launcher for Compiz Fusion:
gksudo gedit /usr/bin/compiz
Near the top, add the line
SKIP_CHECKS="yes"
I added it under VERBOSE="yes"
You may also need to install the Compiz settings manager program that you can access from System->Preferences->Advanced Desktop Effect Settings | 1-click install or:
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
You can now load Compiz Fusion with
compiz --replace
and revert to Metacity (the basic window manager) with
metacity --replace
I suggest making launchers in a panel for this.
Remember that this is a workaround and may not work for everybody. If you have further problems, you should consider running a forum search and then posting on one of the main support forums if you still need help.
For the record, my card is an ATI Mobility Radeon 9000.
