[Bug 563466] [NEW] Not able to change "Visual Effects" in "Appearance"

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

My "Visual Effects" was set to "Normal" when i was using Ubuntu 9.10.
When i upgraded to the beta 2 version of Ubuntu 10.04, it switched back
to "None." When i try to change it back to "Normal" or "Extra" it asks
me if i want to keep these display settings, i confirm, but nothing
changes and "None" is re-selected.
