Hi all,
when switched to proprietary ati drivers, I got no more freezing on my ATI Mobility Radeon X600 laptop.
Still compiz-fusion was working much better without proprietary drivers: now effects seem to be slightly less rapid and, most of all, I'm subject to the slow-scrolling bug which is very very annoying.
I have the feeling that with such proprietary drivers some computation are no more in charge of the GPU and are processed by the real CPU, bringing more slowness over all the system.
Sorry, but let me say that it's very annoying thinking that with the kubuntu 7.04 beryl was working great and that it is since almost one whole year that I cannot use such great effects I got used - addicted - to.
