Yes I have an ATI card (mobility radeon x300, ati driver version 8.28,
on a dell latitude d610) and I played with composite/xgl etc some
months ago (before my firefox problems), without much success. I tried
your patch by editing /usr/bin/firefox and adding
export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1
at the beginning of the file (after the sudo test) but this did not
fix the problem.
I had a look at my xorg config file and found this:
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection
There might be some weird stuff left in my x11 installation but I did
my best to remove these things when I realized they did not work as
expected.
I installed firefox with debug symbols and this is the gdb output:
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]

And that's all... Nothing happens, the process does not crashes,
nothing appears on screen.
