I forgot to mention that I found a working solution for Radeon HD 5450
Mobility:
Move /etc/X11/xorg.conf (if it exists) to eg. /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak
Install the ATI binary blob via System/Additional Drivers. Reboot.
Run:
kwriteconfig -file kwinrc -group Compositing -key Enabled true
kwriteconfig -file kwinrc -group Compositing -key OpenGLIsUnsafe false
kwriteconfig -file kwinrc -group Compositing -key CheckIsSafe true
Go to System Settings/Desktop Effects and configure. Works like a charm; all
but a few effect works and no crashes. glxgears still doesn't work though, but
I really couldn't care less ;-)
