[regression] need to whitelist multiple ATI cards, or remove blacklisting
With a fine-tuned blacklisting still needed, I would like to rewrite the
blacklisting code in the wrapper script to:
- match DRI driver instead of DDX. Use xdriinfo instead of grepping X logs etc.
- match combinations of driver and card ID
- separate the blacklist in a configuration file, instead
Totally agree with Saïvann. The whole white/blacklisting stuff in the
compiz wrapper could need an overhaul, but for now it's just urgent to
get that ugly ati-on-laptop block away, so that people have a chance to
test compiz.

It appears that all started with a problem on a Xpress 200 card (bug #197135),

intrepid has a lot of ati-related fixes done now that AMD has released

No, that error means something is wrong with your driver and it is not
properly supporting GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap. It has nothing to do

That means the server supports it. You also need the driver to support

Why not just do a check on the model number?
Seeing as the lockups are caused on hardware R300 and newer, we can at

Ok, I read all your comments.

It seems that PCI ids are not an indicator of if compiz will work

I agree with you, and find this situation completely
I understand Travis' justification about making compiz not on by default
for ATI due to -ati bugs, although like Kees I also wonder if this is
too overly restrictive. Whitelisting seemed like an acceptable
compromise though. Can someone explain why this approach has not yet
been taken? For
It's not true that 100% of ati cards are blacklisted from Compiz, only

The problem with whitelisting PCI IDs is that it seems to be total

Okay, I showed bug 195051 to Alex and chatted with him a bit.
A lot of -ati's internals were written prior to having access to
register documentation, so there's a lot of educated guesses in -ati
that proved to be wrong once the docs were in hand, and lead to random
crashes like this, and Alex
