ubuntuforums.org — Updates today have made compiz a dependency of ubuntu-desktop, which means it will be installed by default with Ubuntu feisty fawn. Although this doesn't mean it will be enabled by default it's certainly unfortunate for the beryl project who's primary goal for their next release was to be included in Ubuntu.

I was getting my info from LAS too, so then maybe I'm wrong. Bury my last comment in case people get the wrong idea! I do know for a fact that radeon works perfectly with aiglx, but I take back anything I said about fglrx. Sorry!I remember hearing about fglrx working with aiglx, but again, this may only apply to *some* graphics cards. Sorry for the ambiguity.

@ junkalam> I sure do understand the frustration he and his team might be feeling, but you have to give the Beryl folks credit for developing a cool fork. One of the main reasons that made me want to try Linux for the first time over a year ago, was the cool beryl effects.Except that beryl didn't exist over a year ago and compiz was giving its first steps outside of the lab.Now seriously: I've been using compiz since the beginning and I can testify about its amazing stability since August '06. It pissed me off that the beryl team was getting all the attention when it was Reveman who began it all and made everything possible.

I wouldn't like that either... but you are running software that is in active development, whether it is compiz or beryl. of course things are going to break.I hope you submitted a bug report!

Sure Threepio, enjoy your Longhorns, whatever cattle have to do with operating systems and your Vista, whatever views have to do with operating systems. Lately anti-linux people like yourself have taken to picking on Linux application names, as if they're difficult. In doing so, you're only showing your own level of ignorance and frustration; you don't know enough about the actual operating system, so you pick on the app names like idiots. Sorry that *nix app developers don't have millions of dollars to pay marketing drones to sit around all day and think of application names; they're too busy developing and improving the actual product. So instead, often in the KDE and Gnome menu, the applictaion is listed as its type: instead of Abiword, you might have word processor. for example. If that intellectual ticket price is too high for you, how do you even use Windows on your cracker pwnd zombie machine on the spammer botnet. How do I know you have cracker pwnd zombie machine on the spammer botnet? Very simple. When you went to Walmart you saw a box that said "McAfee AntiVirus" but when you took it home, you discovered the flat, silver pill was too big for you to swallow, and thus was useless as cold medicine, so you took it back.BTW, Compiz is actually a logical name. I know you're slow, so I'll go slow for you. Compiz is a c..o..m..p..o..s..i..t..i..n..g window manager. It's play on c..o..m..p..o..s..i..t..i..n..g get it. Take the c..o..m..p and add an "..i..z" Understand now?

Ian Murdock has at least one Ubuntu machine. Nobody in his or her right mind would call him a n00b.
