I have a desktop, not a laptop, with an ATI Radeon 9600 XT Mobility (card bought separately, it was cheap).

Please whitelist it, worked ok with Compiz in Gutsy (and PC is not a laptop).

Now after removing Gutsy and installing Hardy beta it still uses free radeon driver with "Normal" effects (Compiz works ok, it's what came after the install). But Hardy tries to install the fglrx driver when I click "Extra" effects. Ugh. No need to do that, free driver works ok for this card. So now I have no extra effects.

Anyway, thanks for your efforts, they are really appreciated no matter what comes out of this.

lspci -vnn attached:

02:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc M10 NQ [Radeon Mobility 9600] [1002:4e51] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])

02:00.1 Display controller [0380]: ATI Technologies Inc M10 NQ [Radeon Mobility 9600] (Secondary) [1002:4e71]

Note: card has 3 outputs: VGA, DVI and TV-out. VGA and DVI are detected separately in lspci -vnn (VGA is primary, DVI is secondary). TV-out seems not detected, no problem, I don't need it.
