swagman, your video card takes the restricted fglrx drivers, so this isn't the place to get help since we are dealing with the open source drivers here. However, if you upgraded from Gutsy, you may need to reconfigure X to reset your xorg.conf file
Code:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh
then restart X with CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE. Then you can try installing restricted drivers using a program called EnvyNG - http://albertomilone.com/envyngfaq.html#A
If that doesn't get you going, you should start a new thread on these forums and somebody with more experience with fglrx and compiz can help you out.

My effects are working now, but when i activate normal or extra effects my computer runs very sluggish. Any ideas what the problem might be?? Second, I dont beleive i can run anything 3D. For example, the chess game that came with Ubuntu works but i can not run under 3D mode. It says that my python openGL is missing or not functioning. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? I am running the open-source drivers, not the restricted ones from ATI.
Thank you,
