The Xpress chipsets only recently gained 3D support with the open source drivers, and even that support isn't good enough to run compiz, unfortunately.
Compiz will work with the fglrx drivers, however, if you install xserver-xgl :-) I've been told that installing it will automatically configure it to start with X (which didn't happen previously with Feisty... It requires extra configuration there).

The notebook is an aspire 5050 with ATI Radeon Xpress 1100, i guess it's something similar to the X300 for graphics.
Sorry, no compiz at all here (and i did try a lot of different Xorg settings)... don't believe me?

Absolutely! i just wish i didn't have to deal with the issues it has. i had no idea fglrx would work so badly on my laptop
