I'm currently running Ubuntu 10.10 on VMware.
My computer has a NVidia 8800GT graphics card.
I'm trying to activate the Desktop Effects but keep getting the following error message: "Desktop Effects could not be enabled"

My goal is to get Compiz to work.
I'm using a TripleHead2Go to host 2 1920x1080 monitors as one massive 3840x1080 display in addition to my laptop's 1920x1200 display. If I try boooting with it plugged in, however, it hangs and never makes it to the login screen.
