So, my computer has a Radeon mobility card and Compiz doesn't seem to want to play nice with it. The nets me a tradeoff: I can use the proprietary drivers and get the boosted performance and take a hit to several usability items, or I can use the "standard" drivers and take the hit to performance in favor of everything working properly.
I also happen to do a lot of alpha testing on a spare partition on this machine. This leaves me wondering, which driver should I be using? Is it more important to get the "standard" drivers to actually perform better? Or should I be filing bugs against Unity because it doesn't work with the proprietary set properly? Or both.
What do developers suggest that I run to benefit the project more in the long term? Regardless of what type of graphics card is used. Or is that a factor in what set should be used?
