compiz-kde on Feisty

[Larry Hartman]

When you say it works beautifully, I am assuming more than just its 
appearence?  How does it cope with ATI drivers?  Also, are there any known 
problems with ATI Big Desktop--one desktop across two screens (one being a 
TV)?  Are there any known conflicts with Apache, OOo, Eclipse, KDE apps, etc?

When Feisty goes stable this spring I may give it a try.  I would love to hear 
some more specific feedback on Beryl--what works and what doesn't.
