I made another version of my patch.
It is designed to be as less disruptive as possible considering how long we have before the Hardy release.

The only thing this patch changes is this:

The clause not to run compiz if using a laptop with ati or radeon driver is ignored if the card has one of the following pciids:
1002:3154 1002:4336 1002:4337 1002:4c57 1002:4c66 1002:4e50 1002:4e56 1002:5460 1002:5835

I am working on a nice cleanup of compiz-manager that will change the framework and introduce blacklists and whitelists targeted at each different driver. This could probably resolve the whole problem of cards that work better/worse with open-source/proprietary (fglrx/ati) drivers, but I think it's too late now for Hardy.
For now let's try and hope that this or someone else patch will make its way into hardy so that we will be able to enjoy compiz straight from after the installation as we alway did before.
