[Problem]
It seems that even though glxinfo -l says GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE is 2048, for ati
users it is 1024 for -ati version 1:6.12.99+git20090825.fc74e119-0ubuntu3

[Original Description]
Ubuntu 9.10 - When turning on "Normal Effects", after the driver finishes
loading, the desktop wallpaper disappears and except for the top and bottom
panels, the screen is black.  Also full screening flash based applications from
within Firefox causes the screen to go black.  Same machine, Jaunty worked
perfectly with desktop effects on.  In addition, effects themselves are
extremely slow in comparison with Jaunty.  All of this makes me suspect that
there is a problem with the compositing interaction and the direct rendering
drivers for AGP Radeon 7500.

Not sure how I can help, but willing to perform other tests and provide results
if it will help diagnose the issue.

Have attached Xorg.0.log to hopefully help narrow this down a little.
