Use your best friend: GOOGLE.COM to find Desktop Effects customization on ubuntu.

Here I found it the following link you will spend your time reading Ubuntu forum on Desktop Effects and customization at below:

http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=223

Or use your UBUNTU help guide on your computer system how to custom your Desktop Effects.

did u read the link i gave u at all ,  i have explained everything u need there ,  perhaps if u had then u would have seen all u know and more and i wont be reposting what i have already written again ,  it took me a week to wirte that shit ,  its wasnt easy for me  but i tried to make it as easily understandable for newbies as much as i can ,  so am going to help u now ,  but if u or any other person has a problem again,  please check the guide if u didnt see the a solution to your problem then u can reach me through the thread i created in Nairaland.for that purpose so that we don't make computer section clustered ,


now to your problem
 for some reason the compiz fusion developers have blacklisted your driver i.e your intel driver ,  i guess it did not meet with some specifications or some shit ,  however u can get a turn around ,  this and make compiz ( the desktop effect) skip check ,  this would make compiz run fine on your system , however the side effect is that u might get some weird color when u are viewing videos with your system,  this too can be corrected ,  but try the command first , so

open terminal ,  Terminal is here ,(  Application/Accessories/Terminal ) and run this (copy and paste)


mkdir -p ~/.config/compiz/ && echo SKIP_CHECKS=yes >> ~/.config/compiz/compiz-manager


press enter

 log out your system and relogin
