I also have an ATI card (FireGL V5250), and could get compiz/beryl to work only 
with the fglrx driver (unfortunatelly) over XGL. 
I installed jdong's patch more than  a week ago. 
I had  problems with Beryl now and then (famous white screen, white borders, 
and content of windows not refreshed bugs). But since I switched to compiz, its 
been rock solid. I'm no fglrx guru, but by now I spent tens of hours 
configuring xorg.conf options, installing SVN snapshots of beryl, switching 
between Xorg7.1.1 and Xorg7.2, etc.
The configuration that is the most stable on my system (Thinkpad T60p, Feisty) 
is:
xserver-xorg 1:7.2-0ubuntu2
xserver-xgl 7.2.0.git.20070224-0ubuntu2 (jdong's)
compiz 1:0.3.6-1ubuntu7

the xorg.conf file is attached.

I hope this can help you in making your decision.
