And here I thought Debian was the most anal-retentive distro on the
planet. ;)

Ubuntu's development distro (8.04) is using xorg 7.3.3 (as is Fedora 9)
and the nVidia drivers (which are in their non-free repo) work just fine
(as does Compiz).
Now if they could get sound to work as it does in Fedora 9 (I'm an OS
junkie)..
But I digress....
I was under the impression that Compiz was supposed to work with non-
propitiatory 3D-drivers (although I've yet to see that).
