 I'm trying them, but:
- glxgears runs at half speed (~800fps windowed)
- if I enable the Composite extension in xorg.conf, DRI will be
 disabled:
(II) fglrx(0): Composite extension enabled, disabling direct rendering
(WW) fglrx(0): ***********************************************
(WW) fglrx(0): * DRI initialization failed!                  *
(WW) fglrx(0): * (maybe driver kernel module missing or bad) *
(WW) fglrx(0): * 2D acceleraton available (MMIO)             *
(WW) fglrx(0): * no 3D acceleration available                *

 Do you mean you are able to get Composite/Damage working with the
proprietary drivers?
