Compiz instead of Mutter/Muffin at Gnome for ATI GPUs

[mitcoes]

AMD/ATi card users have a problem Mutter/muffin does not work well, each day better, but does not work well.
If we were able to EASILY switch to other CW as Compiz or metacity from Mutter/ Muffin or if it is difficult to do, an "special implementation" as Unity does with "Gnome + Compiz" or "Gnome + metacity" would be great for AMD/ATi GPUs users

Hi,
If I understand you correctly you say that ATI doesn't play nice with Mutter and you want a different compositor.

Mutter is programmed to plays nice with gnome 3, but lacks the functionallity of changing it. So it isn't possible to use compiz or any other compositor with gnome 3.

cheers

I know Gnome Shell does not allow it, but I understand Gnome 3 does , Unity is Gnome 3 with compiz Unity 3d or metacity Unity 2d. - correct me if I am wrong -

As I am not an expert, perhaps is very diffcult to implement this trick, but as Sabayon team is so good, perhaps someone knows how to do it.

I have just read Solus OS v2, still in alpha, will make a Solus WM, with GTK3 and all Gnome3 dlls, but with a Gnome2 look and feel, Gnome 2 plugin compatibility, and all the amazing configuration Gnome 2 had.

I think it would be even possible to make a Gnome Shell "look alike" but without Mutter.
