    Hi there,
    I have just installed Gusty Gibbon on my laptop and everything is working like a charm :) , but i'm still getting use to it. anyways, my problem is that whenever I try to change the visual effect from anything higher than none, it would always give an an error that state: The Composite extension is not available. I'm not sure what this mean. This is a fresh install and I have an ATI X1400 with an ati driver... so yeah...if anybody has a clue as to how to fix this i would really appriciate it. Beside, not having any visual eye candy is a real drag....

    Is the package "xserver-xgl" installed?
