Hey,

I have a tutorial in the BT3 Final : HOW-TO section detailing this exact thing. Have a look

Hey guys thanks for all the help, and finally i solved the problem and yet i dont have a nvidia graphic card, and i found a way to do it without having the need for nvidia grahic card, it took me ages, but now im happy! hahahaha

Thanks, the guide that you guys had supplied me with did indeed help me

and by the way, you guys can still do it without having to do another installation of backtrack, if you want to know how please contact (pm) me, i will try to help you in any way i can

Just post your steps here. It's pretty much forum policy, not to mention good karma, to share how you solved your problem publicy, on the thread.

you know i did this on my intel integrated vid card too, i'll post my xorg.conf for all to peep when i get home. people were complaining "oh i can't get my pretty desktop cuuuube", and in reality, it's very simple the change you need to do. obviously compiz and python packages are a necessity - well, python actually just makes editing compiz's effects retarded easy thru gui.

try adding this to xorg.conf
