I also agree with: Oliver Mattos' postings from 2008-04-27 and 2008-07-18; Vytas' post from 2008-10-03 "...enabling obviously crippled software does more harm than good..." - just look at the dups; & David Fokkema's post on 2008-10-05. Compiz should not be enabled by default with ati driver until this is fixed.

Having a default not work properly when simply disabling the Visual Effects setting makes it work is annoying to users. Disabling it by default could prevent the user from being disappointed/annoyed. Then, when they activate it, it's their own fault for messing with things. Isn't that the Linux way? ;)
