> On this particular laptop, I have had to use the fglrx driver before. Has xserver-xorg-ati acquired support for "newer" ATI GPUS?
It has acquired partial support. The recently released 6.11.0 driver is now in Jaunty, and we anticipate getting 6.12.0 in time for jaunty, which specifically focuses on r6xx/r7xx EXA/Xv support. I would think composite support will come subsequently, but some partial support might be there already. I've been using compiz on an r500 card with hardly any trouble, so am optimistic that getting it working on r600 won't be a long wait.
