I have a new state of the art Dell laptop with Xubuntu 11.04 on it. Simulator not working on firefox 17 for mac download. It has a hybrid graphics card with Optimus. The net is full of explanations why it's not working in Linux. I was trying so much to get my NVIDIA card to work, I tried ironhide and acpicall and nouveau but it just didn't work.

See my other question here: Eventually I am stuck with the Intel card. My question: Is there a way I can run Compiz Fusion on the Intel card? If yes, how do I do it? Because now, Compiz won't work. Here is my lspci -vnnn grep VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller 0300: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller 8086:0116 (rev 09) (prog-if 00 VGA controller) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller 0300: nVidia Corporation Device 10de:0df4 (rev a1) (prog-if 00 VGA controller).

One of the great things about Linux is that if you don’t like something, you have the power to change it. You can add features, or remove them to suit your needs. One of the cool features that has been added to modern distributions is the OpenGL compositing manager called A lot of distributions come with Compiz as standard, but some don’t. If it does and you have no need for it you can remove or tweak features and functionality it provides. Personally I’m not a fan of every feature or all of the flashiness, so sometimes I tweak it.

Luckily, Compiz Config Settings Manager also known as is a nice little configuration tool that can help you configure, tweak, turn off features or just play around. Depending on your distribution it may be called a few things, I normally search the repositories via command line for the following: ccsm compizconfig Compiz-Config-Settings-Manager You could also do a generic search and use grep to narrow down the results for the exact package name.
