I've replaced my NVIDIA graphics card with an ATI FireGL V8600 on my Fedora 9 system (Intel Dual Core) and have been playing around for about a week now. There are some clear improvements to my system: rotating the desktop cube, for example, is a beautiful thing.
However, in compiz mode, there is some substantial badness. Firefox's close/resize buttons have completely disappeared, and not infrequently the screen freezes for a couple of seconds. Video looks amazingly jaggy at times.
I've been searching the web, users groups, etc. for ways to improve this annoying, erratic behavior, but no luck so far. Questions to the more experienced than I:
1. Is what I'm experiencing bugs, or is there some magic configuration options that I don't know about?
2. If bugs, where do I post bug reports?
3. Should I conclude that I should have shelled out the massive extra cash and gone with an NVIDIA product? I'm naive at ATI, but it sure feels like it's behind the curve, Linux wise.
In essence, any suggestions on what next to do to have a more enjoyable compiz existence?
Many TIA,
Craig
