Hi everyone
i finally got compiz working with my ati radeon 9800 card by using the open source driver, every experiment with fglrx was a failure moreover most of the time they lock me out of X even with metacity or just give no DRI.

With the open source drivers and no compositor they do work great, i have around 3600fps with my card, but if i turn on compiz the fps drop to 1400 with a strange behaviour:

glxgears works full speed for a second, then stops, then again full speed, then stops, then again full speed.
and so on..
Actually it is working in an on-off way, and i don't know how to fix it..
If someone has more experience to give out some hints i'd gladly try
Here is my xorg.conf

Code:

# xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
#   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

this should go in the other forum since it's related to the opensource driver.
