I suspect this is the just the compiz default, why I have no idea. The fglrx driver is typically faster than either open source drivers in 3D, but I'll take the performance hit over a binary blob any day. I noticed in your logs you are using XAA, you can see if switching to EXA makes any of the issues go away. Alternately, theres the xf86-video-ati driver you can try

The current install is on archlinux. Most of my other installs are opensuse (where a fglrx driver is available). All I did was rsync my .config/compiz/compizconfig from an opensuse box over to my archlinux box, started compiz again and Presto! All was well in the world -- well almost ;-) Man this was strange?? Is the default config distro specific or is it a compiz generic issues that could be tweaked here? Only other strange issues for compiz with the radeonhd driver is that when I run glxgears, the background for the gears is completely transparent (100% gone). Additionally, shift switcher does not erase the original windows before drawing the shift switch windows (the gradient draws correctly though) See: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/Archlinux/compiz/radeonhd/shiftswitch.jpg After closing all apps and restarting them shiftswitch seems ok?? http://www.3111skyline.com/download/Archlinux/compiz/radeonhd/shiftswitch.jpg Only real downside so far with the radeonhd driver is the frame-rates in glxgears is about 1/5 what it was with the fglrx driver (Current: 188 FPS, w/fglrx: 1000 FPS).
