I had trouble getting Compiz (0.3.3 and 0.3.6) to work under Debian
also, which is the main reason why I changed to Ubuntu (couldn't resist
all the eye candy, lol). Perhaps after you have released WIP4, you'll be
able to experiment with the Ubuntu Feisty live/install CD, which I
believe will have Compiz installed on it by default. That releases some
time in April.
Thanks again for all the great work on E-UAE :-)
Cheers,
Jason
