I agree with you that there is a driver issue with my old ATI9800SE. Last time I have tried the restricted driver and it sucks -- stability issues. Anyway I really do not need compiz for the things I do. Without compiz my life is easier under Linux. It forze my pass installation of OpenSuse 10.3 and I remmeber Fedora 7 as well. Fedora 8 is a different story thanks to the fact that it conflicted with FreeBSD partitions. So I removed it and keep FreeBSD. > I find compiz improves performance, desktop changes, minimises/maximises > etc are all pretty much instant (or cool looking), without it there is a > noticeable redraw delay (especially on slower systems (like the eee)). > I will wait for my next PC to use compiz. No more ATI graphics for me (driver related issues), no more NVdia chipset for me (USB related problems with NForce 3).
