The ATI X700 hardware has previously been blacklisted, but only temporarely - If that is the suggestion, then I don't mind, as long as a permanent fix, where compiz is fully functional, is the aim.

I also believe from the various bug reports on this issue, that Compiz is not part of the problem. It is most likely the ATI driver running 3D which causes the X server to freeze. Compiz just happens to use a lot of 3D effects and thereby provoke the problem faster than any other application.

Perhaps the responsibility of this bug should also be considered by the ATI driver team? Just an idea to make the bugfixing more efficient :-)
