Compiz Fusion Problem

Hello ya'll. Its been a while since I've been on these forums, but I should be a lot more active that I've settled down at school again.

Anyway, I am having a problem with compiz-fusion in my ubuntu 8.04 system. For some reason, it will not allow me to configure it with 4 virtual desktops. Normally this wouldn't bother me, but 2-3 desktops is not enough for me and 5 or more slows down my computer significantly. It used to allow 4 desktops, but since I updated some scrips and xconfigs to allow for dual monitor usage (multiple X-Screens) it only allows me to use 4-desktops on my secondary monitor. For some reason when I select 4 virtual desktops in Compiz Config, it switches automatically to 2. It doesn't do this for 1-3 or 5+, only 4. I have no idea why and it's driving me crazy. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

 

Does the problem dissapear when you get rid of the dual screen configuration?

 

No, thats the first thing I tried But, it did SEEM (not 100% sure when it started) to appear after I setup the dual screens with the newest compiz (used git to get the latest updates).

Any other ideas?

 

try setting visual effects to none, then add the other 2 workspaces so you have 4 total, then enable visual effects.

 

I did what you reccomended, but now I cant start compiz anymore... The windows show up the emerald window manager doesnt load and neither do any of the compiz effects (at least when on full - when its on minimal, it works).

Any ideas now? I tried putting it back to 3 workspaces and it didnt help...
