           Summary: kwin and fglrx HUGE compatibility issue that no one
                    wants to fix
           Product: unknown
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian stable
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: medeirosdez at yahoo.com.br


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.1) 
OS:                Linux

I just want the full potential of my ATI Radeon HD 3850 card with KDE 4. That
seems to be impossible though, for no one really cares about the absurd
incompatibility issue with kwin and fglrx. The propietary drivers suck, they're
soooo slow because of kwin that they are literarily unusable. Do you guys
really plan to keep releasing such a buggy KDE for the mass? Do we have to have
a nVidia card in order to use KDE? Or are we supposed to be using the terrible
open source ati drivers forever? No one with ATI cards will ever keep using KDE
for more than a week with this incompatibility issue being ignored. I guess
you're being supported by nVidia for you to ignoring this evident problem. Hey,
I'm not writing to ATI since their same driver works greatly with gnome, it's
KDE's business. From an ordinary PC user in Brazil.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Just install ANY propietary ATI driver and KDE SUCKS! Tooooo slow, it's
rendered unusable.

Actual Results:  
KDE is rendered unusuble because it is tooooo slow. Even the mouse cursor is
slow. Hey, this is common to EVERY one I know who have an ATI card, ok?

Expected Results:  
JUST WORK like any descent operating system would.

OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.35-22-generic-pae
Compiler: cc
