Currently I'm running Compiz-Fusion 0.6.1... :-) which kind of proves that the fglrx driver works. Performance is not so great though, possibly because of the indirect rendering required, and stability also remains desired. Without Compiz, just using KDE, the fglrx driver (8-3) is rock stable and fast!
Since using ATI's binary drivers caused unpleasant surprises at every kernel update, I switched to the radeon and radeonhd drivers, and where possible to using nvidia graphics cards (which are in my experience way less problematic).
 
Note to ATI: please, please, please implement GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap!!!

I'm a (mostly) happy user of a Linux-only (Gentoo) IBM Thinkpad T43, and of a desktop machine with a R600-based card.

Since using ATI's binary drivers caused unpleasant surprises at every kernel update, I switched to the radeon and radeonhd drivers, and where possible to using nvidia graphics cards (which are in my experience way less problematic).
