I tested on my Acer TravelMate 8104 WLMi with ATI RADEON X700.
Works pretty cool!!
Make sure your ATI accelerated graphics driver is enabled. It will install fglrx driver
Installing Compiz
Install all drivers you need.
$ sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx # if you couldn't enable graphics driver $ sudo apt-get install fglrx-control # if you couldn't enable graphics driver $ sudo apt-get install xserver-xglRemove all default configurations and re-install.
$ sudo apt-get remove compiz $ sudo apt-get install compiz compizconfig-settings-managerAlso, remove Beryl if you have. then log out and log in again.
Now compiz should be working.
If not, check in your xorg.conf file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) and put these texts in xorgs.conf
