[compiz] Compiz starts, but no 3D effects

[Dotan Cohen]

I just installed Compiz on Ubuntu Feisty (Gutsy does not work on my
hardware as per the release notes) via the
http://ppa.launchpad.net/amaranth/ubuntu repo, which is the repo
suggested in the compiz-fusion website. The machine is a Dell Inspiron
E1505 / 6400 with the horrible ATI X1400 graphics card and 1680x1050
monitor. I installed XGL and the proprietary ATI driver, a combination
that worked with Beryl on my previous Feisty install on the same
hardware.

Compiz seems to start, and I see that my window decoration is
different and certain effects work (such as minimize animation).
However, wobbly windows and other 3D effects do not. Notably, the
Negative effect does not work, which I depend upon on a regular basis.
Here is some console output:

feisty at feisty-laptop:~$ compiz.real --version
compiz 0.5.3
feisty at feisty-laptop:~$ compiz --replace

What must I do to enable the 3D effects and Negative? Thanks in advance.
