* For 1st generation radeons through 5th generation radeons use: ATI with AIGLX

• For example: ATI Radeon 7000 (RV100)

* For 6th and 7th generation radeons use the fglrx drivers with AIGLX.

• For example: ATI Radeon HD 2400 (RV610)

* For Older Radeon cards (R100, R200)

• Users with older ATI Radeon cards, e.g. the Radeon Mobility 7500 card may be unable to start Compiz due to an incorrectly detected maximum texture size. To solve this, create a file at /etc/drirc with the following contents, then restart X:

  <driconf>
  <device screen="0" driver="ati">
  <application name="all">
  <option name="allow_large_textures" value="2" />
  </application>
  </device>
  </driconf>

* ATI Rage cards will not work with compiz

* OpenGL Composite Support was added in version 9.3 of the AMD Catalyst drivers. This news was covered by Phoronix at http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=amd_catalyst93_composite&num=1.
