Has anybody tried Xgl/compiz on their laptop? I've got a notebook with a 128MB Radeon Mobility and something's not so hunky-dory. I found a few posts that say there are issues with the ATI notebook cards and Xgl, but I'm still hopeful.
I'm also running Dapper, and lovin' it. Wireless works out of the box, suspend/resume is almost fully functional (you can click the suspend button, but the lid switch doesn't put it to sleep; it *does* wake up when you open the lid, though ... I'm still working through my differences with ACPI), and everything else works a hair better than in previous releases. One other noteworthy feature is that boot time is a fraction of what it has historically been. Long live the drake. -Brent Michael Moore wrote: > I don't know who else is running Ubuntu Dapper, but if you are, and > you like eye-candy, there's a tutorial for setting up XGL here > http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=131267 > > It's pretty neat.
