Intel 965GM chipset with compiz

[John Priddy]

Hmm, yeah sounds like you have things working fine.  I'll go back and
revisit my xorg conf / reread the wiki.  Thanks, its actually quite
helpful to know at least someone out there has this working on the same
chipset.  Last time I took a look at this it was the same week FC9 came
out, so perhaps there have been some developments since then.
