[If Ticks is completely not working for you (ie. you're getting a
BarChart::ticks message) then you should update your version from
7.0.0 to 7.0.1.]
Jaebum has already shown how to get the exact same ticks as V6, but I
wonder if you're really interested in getting something like one of
the following:
System`BarChart[Transpose[{{1, 2, 3}, {2, 3, 4}}],
ChartLabels -> {{1, 2, 3}, None}]
System`BarChart[Transpose[{{1, 2, 3}, {2, 3, 4}}],
ChartLabels -> {Placed[{1, 2, 3}, Below], None}]
with the label below each group of bars, instead of centered on the
first bar in each group?
