Comment 65 for bug 303697

Of course it is a driver issue. I just meant the to my knowledge not circumventable issue appears in combination with Compiz.

Nevertheless I have given up hope that this bug will be fixed in the near futures. This issue is known since several years and it seems that some serious changes are needed for this to be fixed otherwise they would have already done it.

The good thing is that except of a proper power management the free driver has all the features for my card 4870 now. Maybe it renders 3D not as fast as the fglrx but it just works and doesn't have all this annoying bugs (which never seem to get fixed).
