Hello,

The option "Unredirect fullscreen windows" was disabled. I have activated it,
and now fullscreen videos are at full speed AS LONG AS I don't move the mouse
if I'm under VLC, SMPlayer, etc... If I move the mouse, the button bar appears
and everything goes through composite again... and get slow. It's a nice
workaround, though, but really I'd rather stick to "no desktop effects" for the
moment, as the Compiz effects are slow in big windows. Furthermore if I have
desktop effects activated, I have hard times moving windows that take more than
a quarter of my 21.5" screen...
Many thanks for the trick.

I'm aware that the open-source ati driver is still not complete, but is this
something that developers have been notified about?

Cheers, Chris...
