I'm having problems with the driver 96.43.09. They load and i get compiz running but it renders very slow. I have the same problem as others stated that there is no text in the menus. Like for example in opera i dont see any text in the menu, only when i move over them with the mouse then i see them for a split second. But the text is rendered in nautilus so its only certain applications. Openoffice i got text in by changing the font suitable for lcd but it didnt fix the other applications. And new text beeing sent through for example xchat is laggy. I tried adding different options to my xorg.conf as stated below.
