xorg uses radeonhd, which doesn't cooperate with compiz, by default

Bug Description

After the most recent round of updates, X.org appears to be using the radeonhd (instead of the ati) driver by default on my Thinkpad T60 with an ATI Radeon Mobility X1400. As this driver is not in compiz's whitelist, this causes compiz to revert to metacity. Problem fixed by adding a Driver line to my video device section in xorg.conf, but unless there are plans to make radeonhd and compiz cooperate, this might cause problems.
