window decorator goes away

Ok so I recently tried to downgrade my intel driver back to i think its 2.2.3.  Blew up my xorg and I managed to get it working again.... kinda.  I was using gtk window decorator, compiz fusion, and standard gnome themes.  I'm back in x, but my window title borders and therefore ability to move all my windows are gone.  My gdm screen also has a lower resolution than my x session (though the x session runs perfectly otherwise and has perfect resolution) advice? Where do I look to fix this?

Thanks!

Re: window decorator goes away

I might be completly wrong but have you check the Bitrate you have set up in the xorg.conf?
it might be set at 16 instead of 24.

Have you tried to use a different window manager...?

Re: window decorator goes away

Re: window decorator goes away

correcton, im an idiot and had loose binding enabled on compiz... problem resolved, for those who are wondering, the issue was a boned up xorg.conf file.  All good and works fine after recreating the xorg.conf file
