my card is a x700 mobility radeon.

i've installed the new driver following the instructions from this link:
http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Feisty_Installation_Guide#Method_2:_Install_the_8.41.7_Driver_Manually

but adapting to gutsy and the new version.

my xorg have nothing really different. just make sure to load the dri
module and enable composite:

Section "Module"
	[...]
        Load  "dri"
EndSection

#and

Section "Extensions"
	[...]
        Option      "Composite" "true"
EndSection

in /usr/bin/compiz i had to add fglrx to the WHITELIST:

# Driver whitelist
WHITELIST="nvidia intel ati radeon i810 fglrx"

and remove the the picid of my graphics card in the BLACKLIST_PCIIDS

commented the line that have it:

#T="$T 1002:3152 1002:3150 1002:5462 1002:5653 " # ati X300 X600,X600
X700

i think it is just this.

let me know if it works for you.
