Bug Description
Binary package hint: compiz
We need a patch to force the FGLRX driver to go into direct rendering mode. The trick is to change the compiz program name before and after the GL driver is initialized.

This is a potential FFE request that we may choose to drop depending on the speed at which we can fix other compiz/GL problems.
The impact is that systems requiring fglrx for 3D (ie, not supported by radeon) won't be able to get the Unity experience.
