First, download Forlong’s compiz-check
You can use this command to download it to your home directory:
wget http://blogage.de/files/9124/download -O compiz-check
Afterwards, you have to make it executable:
chmod +x compiz-check
And finally run it like this:
./compiz-check
If they output shows that Your intel graphic card is in the blacklist, this is the perfect solution for you.
Edit the compiz script file
sudo gedit /usr/bin/compiz
Then go down and look for blacklist, then add the # to take your intel graphic out of the blacklist.
Then the script should look like this
# blacklist based on the pci ids
