Some cards are blacklisted, have a look at /usr/bin/compiz

I have a X700 card and it always worked fine with compiz. According to the wiki page above, my card shouldn't be blacklisted. If I remove the line corresponding to x700, compiz works fine.

I think that the updated list should be packaged.
