Hello,
here I have F9 with X1900 card and using radeon driver.

Just released so I try to post here, marking [OT], thanks.

I'm using/testing kde4
I found the script compiz-check at
http://forlong.blogage.de/article/pages/Compiz-Check

It tells mr that all is ok....

[gcecchi at tekkaman ~]$ ./compiz-check
./compiz-check: line 65: lspci: command not found

but when running fusion-icon I get no title bars.
I can switch between metacity and kwin as windows managers but when I use
compiz, I get no title bars.
Also no effects at all.
Alrady tried to enable windows decorations.
If running fusion-icon inside an xterm I get this:

[gcecchi at tekkaman ~]$ fusion-icon
* Detected Session: kde
* Searching for installed applications...
* Using the GTK Interface
* Interface not installed
... Trying another interface
* Using the Qt4 Interface
* KWin is already running

then I set compiz as window manager:
* Setting window manager to Compiz
... executing: compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp
--indirect-rendering

and no titles, no ability to switch between desktops, no minimize windows,
etc....

Here below my xorg.conf relevant parts. Thanks in advance for help
