Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

When I run Google Earth on a PC running Intrepid with an ATI Radeon Mobility 9600 card, I have to disable compiz, otherwise sub-windows (eg when you click on a point that brings up a sub-window containing a photo) are not drawn correctly - eg text and graphics are missing from the sub-window, or half the sub-window is obscured by the map.

It runs fine with compiz disabled. Google Earth is also fine on another PC with an nvidia card when compiz is enabled.

Version info:
Ubuntu 8.10, kernel 2.6.28-8-generic
xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:6.9.0+git20081003.f9826a56-0ubuntu2.1
