This has been an issue for me since 10.04, so this bug has existed for 2.5 years. I recently just reinstalled Ubuntu and have the most upto date system. Now compiz is taking ~15% of my cpu.
When can we expect this issue to be looked at and fixed, and not be put at the bottom of the pile? Or heck tell me how I can turn off compiz.
If I remember the last time I looked at how the driver works, it uses a different way of managing the displays (I have had a lot of problems with dual monitors and ati drivers in the past. The driver doesn't use Xrandr to manage resolutions etc. it uses another library that I can't think of the name of at the moment.
I think this is the problem, unity is not backward compatible with the library.
