So I managed to install the drivers and configure my new laptop. What do you know, I can actually "run" compiz, except for one little detail: The window decorations are missing. This reminds a lot of the nVidia problem where you have to use Option AddARGBGLXVisuals to get them back... However it's been a while since I last used ATi, and this is uncharted territory as far as my ATi experience goes. Any pointers are much appreciated.

By the way this is on Fedora 8 x86_64, installed from the reference ATi driver.

Hi

I had this also with Kubuntu. Its because the KDE desktop environment doesnt work with compiz so I wasn't seeing the windows decoration.

To fix it I installed the Emerald theme which does work with compiz then I installed the compiz task bar control and select Emerald as the screen decorator and problem is solved and looks really nice :p

That shouldn't be the case with Fedora's Compiz due to Heliodor (GTK window decorator for Compiz), at any rate, thanks for taking the time to reply.
