He also tore the Xorg guys apart a bit, but he said they were starting over completely. Hopefully we'll see some major improvents in the next release!

If I feel adventurous I'll comment out the line in the config file otherwise I may just wait :)

I only have two minor issues on the two machines I use full time (both are Xorg items - you can't run Compiz and a vnc server at the same time, not a big deal for my media box - and on my work laptop, I have an unresolved driver issue preventing Compiz from running at all - weird, it is just a GMA950 and worked in 8.10!)<br><br>Much nicer than 8.10 overall though, and I expect both of these issues will go away in a few weeks.

Much nicer than 8.10 overall though, and I expect both of these issues will go away in a few weeks.
