Comment 75 for bug 201330

It's not true that "100% of ati cards" are blacklisted from Compiz, only laptops using the open ati driver are affected.

The problem with whitelisting PCI IDs is that it seems to be total random what cards are affected.

After all, it's a bug with the ati-driver, so in my opinion fixing that one should be more important. Can't someone in charge talk to the people at fd.o about this? Sadly there has been zero reaction to http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15096 so far, bringing more attention to this problem would be more effective than silently working around it.
