Compiz crashes

[stevemcc]

I am making the switch from ubuntu to fedora and I really like it so far. One problem I am having is with compiz. I have a gateway mx6931 with a Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950. When I first started using ubuntu I have to install 915resolution in order for compiz to work and to get my max resolution. In the more recent versions it seems to be automatically installed. I have tried to get compiz to work under debian as well and the only way I could get it work was to steal the xorg package from the ubuntu servers and install it on debian.

When I try to run compiz --replace it attempts to replace metacity but when it does everything turns white and I can only restart x in order to fix the problem.

How can i get compiz to work?

thanks for pointing this out. after reading these posts I figured out I needed to to use indirect rendering, so I installed fusion-icon then ran

fusion-icon -n

Then I selected indirect rendering
