It's not a pretty picture right now for any distro and ATI right now. I had compiz working with xorg 7.2 and the 8.42 driver - lockups were the norm on shutdown. xorg 7.3 is not compatible with the current driver and it is both an xorg/mesa and ATI issue that will require input from both to get a working driver.
The solution, use the default Radeon driver, *without* 3D and your display will be usable - However no 3D, no dri, no compiz fusion, etc..
Thank you for answer. But at first I would like to try to get working X with ATI driver. I managed to install 8.40.4 driver (only this one has ATI Mobility FireGL V5XXX series support). But now sax do not start at all. I have upgraded to xorg 7.3. It could be this is my problem, so I will try to revert to 7.2. I see in other list that some users can use my notebook with 8.40.4 driver (in Gentoo, Ubuntu f.e.). So I only want to start X with ATI driver at first. Then we will see. At the moment I get from sax that "Fatal server error: no screens found" I think it is something simple... I am just simple user, so it could be my fault... What info I have to supply for list, that would help investigate what is wrong with my configuration...? Thanks.
