Ok, wow. I'm finally done. That was a crazy ordeal that I don't even wish upon my enemies. Ugh but it was worth it. Over the past few days I have been setting up Linux, the Ubuntu Feisty version to be exact. And of course I want to cool eye candy that you can use.

But, ATI is a bitch when it comes to us Linux users. Their drivers don't support some key features in the desktop effects software, Compiz Fusion; formally 2 groups, Beryl and Compiz. So, I needed to have a lengthy work-around to fix the problem with ATI's crappy drivers. I gotta tell you though, it was worth it. Check out this video and see for yourself!
Pretty much, since ATI doesn't support some of Linux's technologies, you must improvise and use a software that ATI will use. Unfortunately in Ubuntu, it is not activated by default. In fact, it is not even installed to begin with. What you have to do is run an "Xgl" session when you load the OS. I posted the instructions I followed below, so all you geek ATI users can get this thing rolling.
