Ok here’s my problem with 11.1 - i think that some great things were added in 11.1, but i don’t understand how an “update” can break things that were previously working. Updates should just improve upon what was already there; breaking previously working things is a step backwards. My (probably growing) list of things that worked in 11.0 and are now broken in 11.1:
-Bluetooth - in 11.0 it started with an icon in the system tray, seamlessly connected to my mouse, and automatically worked. Now i can’t even get it to start!
-XGL - It was the only way i could get my computer to produce smooth video/compiz effects (nvidia drivers were choppy). Now apparently it was phased out in 11.1 - back to choppy video.
-Compiz - Crashes within several minutes no matter what, I’ve tried many things to no avail.
