[Bug 442256] Re: compiz does not start up "Software rasterizer detected, abortingaborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity"

[Hatman]

I think I have this bug on 9.10 after both an upgrade and a fresh
install on my system which uses an ATI 9600XT graphics card.

I had no problems using Compiz on 9.04.  Interestingly, when I boot my
system from the 9.10 CD, Visual Effects do not work, however when I boot
from an earlier 9.10 alpha CD they work fine - so I guess this can be
considered a regression?

$ compiz --replace

xset q doesn't reveal the location of the log file. Using fallback /var/log/Xorg.0.log

I can confirm that xpra is not installed on my system

Let me know if I can provide any more information
