The Ubuntu team has released the beta for Ubuntu 7.10, Gutsy Gibbon. Highlights include GNOME 2.20, fancy desktop effects through Compiz Fusion, and more. Kubuntu 7.10 beta has also been released, featuring Dolphin as the default file manager, a restricted drivers manager, and updates and polish across the board.

- ATI restricted driver (fglrx): no compiz, suspend/hibernate hardlock.
- ATI opensource driver (radeon): no compiz, no 3d, screen garbage at times, no hibernate.
What card do you have? Radeon 7000 - X850 should have compiz, 3d out of the box with the open source drivers. Eg. I have X800 and compiz works fluently and without problems. I also have a laptop with Radeon Mobility with working hibernate and suspend.
Regarding fglrx, Ubuntu developers can't fix faults of a closed source driver.
