<br>I am also getting the following message (that did not get in 4.1.1) when I try to enable desktop effects:<br><br>
<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 0px;">Failed to activate desktop effects using the given configuration options. Settings will be reverted to their previous values.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 0px;"></p>
<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 0px;">Check your X configuration. You may also consider changing advanced options, especially changing the compositing type.</p><br>Interestingly, some of desktop effects actually work even though they are not enabled when I use "nvidia" for my device.<br><br>If I switch to "nv", I can move the windows but if I try to enable special effects, I get the same error again:<br><br><p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 0px;">Failed to activate desktop effects using the given configuration options.
