Notes

Compiz Desktop Effects
Use the new ATI driver https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-7-11-x86.x86_64.run
The new ATI drivers use AIGLX so there is not need to install XGL that older drivers (< 8.40) required.
After installing ATI driver, do these steps:
Remove this section from to the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. The new xorg server enables "Composite" by default.
# Section "Extensions" # Option "Composite" "0" # EndSection
Compiz does not know about the fglrx driver. You can either skip the checks
mkdir -p ~/.config/compiz && echo SKIP_CHECKS=yes >> ~/.config/compiz/compiz-manager
or add it to the compiz white list, and clear the blacklist pci Ids variable *Recommended*
sudo gedit /usr/bin/compiz
# Driver whitelist WHITELIST="fglrx nvidia intel ati radeon i810"
# blacklist based on the pci ids # BLACKLIST_PCIIDS="$T" BLACKLIST_PCIIDS=""
