I must agree to that - because I'm one of them :) I've got the X1350 and it's affected by the same bug. I cannot understand why Ubuntu took the new Xorg version into the new release when it was clear that fglrx would not be working anymore.

I'd go with any alternative solution as long as I can use fglrx (and therefore compiz - which IMHO is _required_ to use gnome effectively). So either a older Xorg Version or a ugly Xorg-fglrx patch to make get the old driver running.

So - I think this question came before - is there anyone "listening" who has in-depth knowlege and could determine the exact problem(s) in detail and what effort it would take to make an Xorg-patch (as opposed to providing an earlier Xorg version for fglrx users)

I'm getting tired of not being able to use compiz and thinking of downgrading :(
