ok... some good things some things that just tick me off...

first... everything came up well and im glad for that... but some other things are driving me mad...

1. cant get compiz to work says xgl not installed... i have ATI drivers... so it's to my knowlege that compiz wont work... beryl will but from the installers that i havef looked at it's not avalible...
2. dvd playback... where is it? tried mplayer and it's choppy... but that's prob due to some vid driver... i have used other VO settings but none of them deliver smooth play... i am able to play some games that i believe are opengl...

also when i have used the emerald theme manager i cant used anyother skins... why? i dont know... but i click on the one that i want to use and it doesnt come up... Help!

thanks for the info that im SURE is about to come...
