[indiana-discuss] compiz just gives blank screen and cursor on b111

[Jonathan Edwards]

yes .. works quite nicely (when it doesn't have issues with gdm, kbd,  
or other bits) .. you just need to use the intel driver for the  
onboard GMA950 and then enable extra effects in the Appearance Gnome  
menu item (or run compiz directly from the command line) to get things  
started

i hear the b112 does an enable compiz by default for hardware that can  
handle it - and it looks like there's more stability there .. just  
need to see these pkgs in the dev repository to update which should be  
coming soon
