Woohoo!,

        All of the pieces of the puzzle are in the right place. Still have a 
few 
artifacts, but that's expected. Compiz works fine with the new driver and 
glxgears FPS are up to 180 from about 165 (Still a long way from the 1010 FPS 
with the 8-9 release of the fglrx driver, but we are catching them :-).

        I'll let you know what else I find tomorrow -- I'm hitting the sack.
