See this:
Nvidia is the only solution for Compiz + 3D apps for another year, or maybe two?
If they can implement the "hack" to let windowed 3D apps and video work under Compiz, why can't you ATI do the same? Since you are so stick to the closed binary blob, why don't you implement this "cute little hack" so we are all happy about the driver and can actually use it and wait patiently until the X.org infrastructure finally upgrade in several other years?
Please seriously consider it, go replacing some x.org system libraries, as long as the desktop will work, I am happy! Just like all the happy Nvidia users! I envy them, I started to regret my buying of my X1900, X1950, HD2900, and now HD4850.
Please do this little hack to gain respect from us royal ATI users! We have been very very patient!
I am the author of ShaderStudioMAX back in the days. I have also been a loyal Linux user for about 2 years. I wanted to contribute to the community. I wanted to make a program like ShaderStudioMAX for Linux programmers to explore the programmable shaders and 3D effects. But the display driver has always been a show stopper for me to do any useful work under my desktop Linux system.
