** Description changed:

  The issue that I'm having is that I cannot change the visual effects
  when I'm in extended monitor mode. I've tried reinstalling maverick
  about 3 times now (first 2 I installed desktop edition.... and now I
  have installed netbook edition, but I login with desktop edition (hoping
  it would have solved something). Whenever I try to switch the effects
  (system -> preference -> appearance -> Visual Effects) to 'Normal', it
  either A. searches for drivers, asks for me to keep the settings,
  refreshes the windows, yet does not display the effects, and reverts the
  option back to 'none' when I go back into the settings. or B. pops up
  with the error "Desktop effects could not be enabled". Effects work fine
  when I run only one monitor. Its only in extended mode when this occurs.
  I've searched everywhere and have not found any solutions with
  maverick... and all the bug threads (usually from ubuntu 8.x versions)
  with a similar issue are showing as fixed when updating the xserver-
  xorg-video-intel package (which I already have the most up to date
  package). I've even updated maverick-proposed packages.  I know this
  "should" work as I have ubuntu studio 10.10 running on my toshiba and
  all works great.
