I downloaded the latest ATI driver for my computer. I'm running Lucid Kubuntu and have a 4350HD card. I installed the driver by directly running the .run file and then activating that driver through the Hardware Drivers application. After a restart, the initial splash screen seems to have gone bonkers(it's being displayed in a weird resolution). After that, the resolution seems fine, but the compositing isn't being supported. I've turned the rendering type to XRender.
Here's my xorg.conf file, if required:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Generic Monitor"
Option "DPMS"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "ATI Graphics Adapter"
Monitor "Generic Monitor"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1440x900" "1024x768"
EndSubSection
EndSection
Section "Module"
Load "glx"
EndSection
Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Graphics Adapter"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps"
Option "mtrr" "off"
Driver "fglrx"
