If this wasn't a laptop, I'd rip the ATI card out and replace it with an nVidia
so fast it would make your head spin. I have a half dozen or so other boxes
with nVidia cards ranging from old MX440s to new 8600GTs. Driver and compiz
setup takes 2 minutes at most. All then work without any problems.

But many systems come with ATI and somehow, (hopefully with ATI's help -- are
you listening AMD?) the OS has to function with those cards too. At least,
until consumers start demanding nVidia in all of their products.
