I'm suspecting the first.  /usr/bin/compiz does have a whitelist, but
the "ati" driver is included.

    # Driver whitelist
    WHITELIST="nvidia intel ati radeon i810 fglrx"

Radeon is also included, and for reasons I don't understand, that
seems to be loaded in my Xorg.0.log along with the ati driver (and I'm
only specifying ati in xorg.conf).

There's also a blacklist on PCI ids, but it's empty.

So the dummy question now is how do I get a new xserver?

If I enable the two sources listed at:

    http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9951

Then I see this:

~$ apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-core
xserver-xorg-core:

But, I have no clue if that's the correct package to install.

Again, I'm just guessing, but I thought since the Xorg.0.log said
"reverting to software rendering" would explain the slowness (i.e.
it's not bypassing the "X SERVER" in the control_flow.jpg you posted).


> what does glxinfo tell you?

Who, me?  Well, I see direct rendering say "Yes".  Otherwise
not sure I can say.

I do note that this is on Hardy and the version says 1.2.  Oddly, on
my desktop right here (Dell with nVidia) running Gutsy it says it's
version 1.4.  That's a bit odd.  (And glxgears is >10,000fps ;)
