I can’t believe 3D now works with ATI, of course i’ll have to see it to believe it but I’ve been installing ati graphics drivers every month a new release came out but I wasn’t able to get compiz to work. I used to look forward to each new release of Ubuntu to finally get it, last year I installed Alpha 4 because I was so excited to find out that my cube will finally spin but this year, beta is out for a week and I still haven’t checked it.. Needless to say I gave up but you just gave me hope . I will try the beta any day now…

Thanks, this is great news!
