Well, it's always a good idea to read release notes before upgrading.

Try replacing T = “$ T 8086:2 a02″ # Intel GM965 with #T = “$ T 8086:2 a02″ # Intel GM965 in /usr/bin/compiz file.

Replacing T = “$ T 8086:2 a02″ # Intel GM965 with #T = “$ T 8086:2 a02″ # Intel GM965 in /usr/bin/compiz file fixes but the video problem but breaks audio. Now I got desktop effects, but can't listen to music. Weird. Don't understand what one has to do with the other.

Can you help with this problem?
