Actually - you don't need xgl. Just installing the fglrx driver through jockey-gtk allows you to log in (after rebooting) and enjoying compiz. It appears as though compiz in 64bit runs smoother than compiz in 32bit.
The issue is the difference between fglrx and ati/radeon drivers. The newest fglrx appear to support compiz while the ati/radeon driver complains about it being an xpress200m -- allowing for 3d acceleration but no compiz. I concur on the trying to switch to vt's 1-6 on the live cd. It just doesn't happen. But - with 64bit Alpha 6 I didn't have to install xgl. Maybe a quick blurb during the installation with ubiquity about "You appear to have an xpress200m chipset. For compiz support click now to download and install the latest proprietary fglrx driver" -- and then the ability to do that in installation would be good. But - I suspect that if the proper memory stuff is released in documentation (from AMD) then it all becomes a moot point in the next year. -- need to blacklist xpress200m when using ati driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/197135 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
