Please everyone keep reports of fglrx usage out of this particular bug report. Fglrx is a closed source driver that cannot be supported or fixed by Ubuntu. Also, specifically keep NVIDIA cards to their own bug report(s), and they are always currently using closed source driver for 3D. And if you're using Ubuntu 7.04, try Ubuntu 7.10. Thank you.

That said, compiz has worked fluently and without any problems here on Radeon X800 with the (default) open source driver.

After filtering NVIDIA users and fglrx driver users out, which people using Ubuntu 7.10 do have hanging and which Radeon cards do they have? It seems Mobility Radeon X300 / X700 are one, but I thought X300 was already blacklisted for gutsy because of some earlier report? And one 9600 AGP user. It also would seem like not all users of such cards experience hangs, so the actual problem might be eg. in the motherboard AGP/PCI-E support.
