I avoided to reply because I thought that you could get a better opinion since
you asked exactly for a reply from a Mac G4 owner. I had a similar video card on
a PC laptop (ati 9000M) and I'm pretty sure that it worked well with the open
source driver and compiz, but it was not capable to run the KDE4 effects at all
(it was KDE4.0 and it was painful almost for everybody). That laptop of mine now
is dead and if you can cope with general suggestions, you can send here your
xorg.conf, but I'm not sure your problem is related to KDE4 and that I can help
you to solve it. Bye
