ubuntu 8.10 upgrade to 9.04 and compiz

Laptop is a Sony Viao VGN-CR120E with Intel GM 965 chipset.

Compiz = Desired effect; flames / burn when windows open and close pluse desktop cube.

Why? Why not.

I had absolutely everything working in 8.10 and decided to upgrade to 9.04. So far the upgrade appears to have worked except for Compiz and the effects. To resolve the problem I performed the following.

sudo apt-get autoremove --purge "compiz*"
Reboot

sudo apt-get install "compiz*"
Reboot

sudo vi /usr/bin/compiz-manager
rem the line = #T="$T 8086:2a02 " # Intel GM965
