 Ok, that was expected, XAANoOffscreenPixmaps is very important for
 Compiz (unless you use EXA).

what about adding a few lines to /usr/bin/compiz, such as

if grep -qi 'driver.*ati' /etc/X11/xorg.conf ; then
  if ! grep -qi XAANoOffscreenPixmaps /etc/X11/xorg.conf ; then
echo To succesfully use compiz on your ATI card, you probably need

It's not that simple unfortunately:
* It's not clear that only ati needs this, some other driver probably
like XAANoOffscreenPixmaps too.
* Also ati may be too vague here, you may just be talking about the
radeon submodule. But ati also contain some other submodules.
* The server can auto-detect the driver nowadays, most future xorg.conf
will have no Driver line at all.
* XaaNoOffscreenPixmaps is just a hack to improve Compiz while
decreasing other stuff performance. I am not sure recommending it that
much would be a good idea in the end.
* EXA is the way to go, XaaNoOffscreenPixmaps should only be a temporary
workaround for the time where EXA is not perfect (which may be too long
howerver).

 Does Option XaaNoOffscreenPixmaps help?

hi

I added that option in the Device section asfollows, and now the bug
457965 is not showing : this seems to really solve problems with compiz
in my ATI Radeon card.

v
Section Device
Identifier  ATI Technologies Inc RV350 Radeon 9600 M10

Option XaaNoOffscreenPixmaps
EndSection
^^^

thanks a lot

I managed to defrost some applications by resizing them. Bigger apps 
especially maximized ones appears to work normally. The biggest problem 
is with very small windows.


I tested also kde4. There is littlebit better but still unusable. I'm 
almost certain that problem is the indirect pcbuf to texture rednering, 
because it DRI pixbuf to texture is not supported by fglrx.
