** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: compiz
  
  I'm using a Thinkpad Z61T with integrated Intel i945 graphics card. Two
  days ago compiz effects stopped working on my machine for no apparent
  reason. When I attempt to enable them on the 'Appearance' menu, an error
  message pops up saying that desktop effects could not be started.
  
  Starting compiz from the CLI reports:
  
  Checking for Xgl: not present. 
  Detected PCI ID for VGA: 
  Checking for texture_from_pixmap: not present. 
  Trying again with indirect rendering:
  Checking for texture_from_pixmap: present. 
  Checking for non power of two support: present. 
  Checking for Composite extension: present. 
  Comparing resolution (1280x800) to maximum 3D texture size (2048): Passed.
  Checking for Software Rasterizer: present. 
  Software rasterizer detected, abortingaborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity 
  Window manager warning: Failed to read saved session file /home/osinski/.config/metacity/sessions/10b16202c01fc4ee36122878703012181600000056410006.ms: Failed to open file '/home/osinski/.config/metacity/sessions/10b16202c01fc4ee36122878703012181600000056410006.ms': No such file or directory
  
  Please note that previous to this compiz had never had any sort of
  issue.
+ 
+ Update: Problem was resolved by removing the "Virtual" section on
+ Xorg.conf. Nontheless a regular user who had no idea about this file
+ wouldn't have known about this. The "Virtual" section was added when I
+ attached another monitor and extended my desktop with it.
+ 
+ Could a feature request be included for Desktop Effects so that the user
+ may know when the virtual resolution of a desktop is too large to be
+ supported by the video card?

** Tags added: compiz monitor multiple resolution
