Default Can't enable visual effects in Ubuntu 8.04

Hello,

It's the first time I came to here
I'm new to Linux, and I switched to Ubuntu because of its amazing desktop effects.

However, I can't enable them, seems to be the problem of display driver?

I followed some guides about installing openchrome, and modified the xorg.conf, but nothing special - I still can't use those effects.
Code:
# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
#   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

I run glxgears in terminal, and 3D seems work fine
Code:
whk1992@whk1992-desktop:~$ glxgears
2113 frames in 5.0 seconds = 422.448 FPS
2260 frames in 5.0 seconds = 451.984 FPS
2262 frames in 5.0 seconds = 452.382 FPS
2254 frames in 5.0 seconds = 450.749 FPS
2269 frames in 5.0 seconds = 453.038 FPS
2269 frames in 5.0 seconds = 453.742 FPS
2260 frames in 5.0 seconds = 451.998 FPS
2265 frames in 5.0 seconds = 452.974 FPS
2018 frames in 5.0 seconds = 403.485 FPS

The driver's problem really makes me feel confusing. I can't find any solution or driver for hardy in the official site of VIA.

Can anyone help me?
Thanks a lot.
