Compiz on Ubuntu 7.10 with ATI Radeon X1950XTX
Finally! The latest drivers from ATI, 8.42.3, has brought a working composite rendered desktop to my computer. And it did so without any fuzz whatsoever. I removed the old ATI driver I had installed through Envy, then I downloaded the new ATI driver and followed the instructions and let the automatic installer do it’s magic and, lo and behold, working composite.
I have been trying various tricks posted around the internet since Christmas last year to try and get things working. Nothing this far had been satisfactory and always produced random errors and hangs. This just worked. Hope it does the same for you.
