I've been struggling to get the xgl/compiz going in Kubuntu Dapper so
far to no avail. Oddly enough I installed OpenSuSE on my 2nd drive and
with in two days I had SuSE installed recognizing all and xgl/compiz
running exellently!...
Does anyone know where I can get fairly straight forward instructions
for doing this in Kubuntu? I really don't care for the OpenSuSE distro
so would much rather stick to the Kubuntu distro but want my eye candy!
