Nope, I'm not using any 3D, compiz was a test to see if it worked and it really did. The real issue for me is that I have a great 22" monitor and my digital photo camera takes amazing videos of very good quality and I want to see them full screen on my computer. The problem is that anything different than the proprietary driver plays the videos with poor quality, very pixeled and completely smooth-less. I tested radeonhd and I really liked that driver, the fonts on my desktop look beautiful with it but the video playback is still poor. So, the real option for me is fglrx. And it really works for me, the videos are now reproduced with very good quality and they look great in full screen now. The only issues left to solve for me are: 1) The wake ups in powertop 2) 3D acceleration isn't workin. If I have to use fglrx it would be really nice to have 3D working. For instance gltron runs very slow. Do you know any fglrx linux forum? curiously enough I can't find any.
