Comment 2 for bug 148458

Sorry but I have to back-up on the statement saying that driver "radeon" worked fine because I had not rebooted my system when I reported this. Apparently with Compiz a simple reload of X server as an option of the logging application (such as gdm or kdm) is not enough.

A problem that I have noticed : if you install the proprietary driver with synaptic or with the special feature regarding proprietary drivers, the ati package is not removed though it is incompatible to get "fglrx" driver working properly at least in Gnome ; I think this should be fixed.
