Yeah, compiz-fusion is generally considered a no go on the eeepc.
Plus, if you are using Maximus (which I, on the whole, recommend) you
get problems with C-F
Should be noted that the url I sent last night about the wireless
driver was actually pretty poor (I've spent all morning fixing it :)
)
ANYWAYS, go to the ralink page,
http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/Linux.html grab the
latest driver, follow the instructions in the README_STA and you will
be fine :)
cheers

Thanks
