Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

Dell Optiplex GX260: 1GB RAM
Intel 845 Integrated Graphics
Graphics chipset blacklisted by compiz
Distribution: Karmic 9.10 Release, with all available updates.

1. Trying to enable compiz effects normal not possible through the System/Preferences/Appearance (click on the Normal radio button)...says no driver available.
2. Ignoring blacklist for compiz causes system to hard-freeze (mouse pointer freezes, system unresponsive, need hard reboot) on reboot...get initial screen-centered Ubuntu logo on initial bootup, x appears to startup, get mouse icon with circular icon (no mouse pointer icon), then screen goes black.  Have to hard-reboot and delete ~home/.config/compiz folder to be able to log into system.
3. Updating Intel drivers to xorg-edgers enables compiz in the System/Preferences/Appearance to be able to enable effects, but system hard freezes when it tries to enable the effects.

Result: unable to use compiz effects in Karmic with Intel 845 graphics
chipset.
