The BigLig Thinks

Good news: today I got an ftp server (for quick 'n' dirty file transfer) and a PPTP client both working.
Bad news: Compiz is still b0rked. I tried AIGLX to see if that was better, but it was worse. Perhaps I should try again, harder, but I've put so much effort into GLX that the very thought makes me weary. I also tried switching to a later driver snapshot from dri.freedesktop.org; no good.

Very frustrating and so far no answers on the Compiz board.
