Hello there!
First of all, thanks all for all your help here, I been reading these forums for a while now without making an account, got alot of help already
Since the official Catalyst Drivers had some big issues on my laptop (firefox scrolling slow, couldnt come back to x from consoles, very slow video playback).. so I uninstalled those again went back to the default ubuntu drivers. Now after a while I decided to try out the open-source drivers, with the very good guide posted on top of this forum.
Installation went well, without any problem (as far as i can tell as ubuntu greenhorn) and 3d acceleration seems to work too (glxgears renders the gear successfully).
However, unfortunately Ubuntu wont let me enable display effects now (neither the standard effects nor the advanced ones), which is quite a shame as i really like the compiz stuff and would love to use it again
I dont really know how i can track down the issue, so sorry if I cant give more info right now.
Oh, and the system is running a ATI Radeon Mobility 9700
Thanks for your help!
Edit: oh and I am using the ATI(radeon) drivers, not the radeonhd ones.
