Another no window borders problem with Compiz

Hello, I am using LXDE.

While running fusion-icon from terminal, output shows that compiz started without any error, but in reallity there is no window borders, nor any effect.

[angel@linux ~]$ fusion-icon
 * Detected Session: LXDE
 * Searching for installed applications...
 * Using the GTK Interface
 * Starting Compiz
 ... executing: compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp --indirect-rendering

Switching to Emerald doesn't solve the issue either. Only window manager openbox or metacity works. I am using Intel G41 Chipset with GMA X4500 video onboard graphics.

[angel@linux ~]$ lspci -v -s `lspci | awk '/VGA/{print $1}'`
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
	Subsystem: Intel Corporation Device d612
	Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 45
	Memory at e0000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4M]
	Memory at d0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M]
	I/O ports at f140 [size=8]
	Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled]
	Capabilities: <access denied>
	Kernel driver in use: i915

Any help would be greatly approciate!

Re: Another no window borders problem with Compiz

Anyway, I have switched to Cairo Composite Manager. No fancy effects like compiz, but It works.
