Compiz does work for ATI, please read the list archives and/or use 
Google before you make sweeping statements like that.

To clarify:  If you have an ATI card and are using the fglrx driver 
which comes in the Ubuntu repositories you do not have AIGLX support and 
Beryl/Compiz/CompizFusion will not work easily.

If you have an ATI card and are using the open source ATI driver which 
comes with Ubuntu you do not have AIGLX support and 
Beryl/Compiz/ColmpizFusion will not work easily.

If you are in either of those spots you have two choices:

1.  Run an XGL server overlay on your desktop (this is the default in 
Gutsy) and then you can run Beryl/Compiz/CompizFusion (I find the 
performance hit with this method unbearable)

2.  Upgrade to the LATEST driver released by ATI 
(http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/8.42.3) which DOES support AIGLX and 
then you can also run Beryl/Compiz/CompizFusion

That is the repo I used to get Beryl working on my Feisty installs.
