I think all this thing can be separated in two (to make it simple):
1) Cards supported by proprietary driver (which can use it for having compiz)
2) Cards not supported by proprietary drivers because they are older (which need "ati" open source driver to work with compiz, no other way)
In this whitelist it should be inserted cards mentioned in 2), because newer cards can use proprietary driver (which is more stable with compiz I think).

Here is a useful list of supported and unsupported card by fglrx www.mepis. org/docs/ en/index. php/ATI_ supported_ cards
