Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope

Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope is still in the Alpha 5 stage. But couldn't prevent installing that because of the curiosity I had towards it. :)
So finally upgraded the system from Hardy Heron to Jaunty Jackalope. Following commands were used.
1. Alt+F2 -> gives the 'Run Application' dialog.
2. There entered 'update-manager -d'
3. After the processing it showed that a new system is there to make an upgrade.

Everything went okay except compiz as I can see for the moment. But it is a minor problem. Display problem with lower graphics went okay after removing the following lines from xorg.conf and rebooting the system,
1. Driver "fglrx"
2. Option "VideoOverlay" "on"
2. Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off"

System seems to be having smaller icons than the previous systems. But I am not 100% sure about that, but I feel like that. Have to try a little bit more to find out what's new. It's still alpha. :)

Cheers
