No, certainly not a dumb question Keith. I just ran compiz --replace and
got the following:

quote/
checking for Xgl: xvinfo: unable to open display. not present.
xset: unable to open display ""
xset q doesn't reveal the location of the log file checking for
texture_from_pixmap : not present aborting and using fallback:
/usr/bin/metacity window manager error: unable to open X display.
/unquote

Any chance someone able to decode this and point me in the right
direction. Thank you.

You need to run it while X is running, and have your DISPLAY environment
set correctly. Easiest is to just run it from your preferred console app
under X.
