Heads up guys...<br><br>The newest ATI Driver from AMD now supports AIGLX and works FANTASTIC with compiz! It will not be in the official gutsy repositories, but you should definitely consider looking for a repo to upgrade with.

Is there anyone here who's good at setting up ATI cards for Compiz, or does it make sense to just buy an Nvidia card?

Yep, the radeon driver will disable the Composite extension in<br>xorg.conf. You'll have to do some config hacking to get XGL working,<br>and I never had a good experience with compiz and XGL. If you like eye<br>candy and it's running fine, you should just leave the FOSS driver,
