Bug Description
Binary package hint: compiz
Ubuntu 9.10 - When turning on "Normal Effects", after the driver finishes loading, the desktop wallpaper disappears and except for the top and bottom panels, the screen is black. Also full screening flash based applications from within Firefox causes the screen to go black. Same machine, Jaunty worked perfectly with desktop effects on. In addition, effects themselves are extremely slow in comparison with Jaunty. All of this makes me suspect that there is a problem with the compositing interaction and the direct rendering drivers for AGP Radeon 7500.
Not sure how I can help, but willing to perform other tests and provide results if it will help diagnose the issue.
Have attached Xorg.0.log to hopefully help narrow this down a little.

This happens to me too, but I'm using a Radeon 9200.
