Now I've found the statement in the compiz wrapper script too: `if
laptop-detect; then return 1`.

* meaningful message needed instead of "turning on effects failed"
* the open source radeon driver **works** on my notebook (3d, standby, xrandr, 
big desktop), the proprietary fglrx is unstable and important features do 
**not** work(no standby - I mean no wake up, no xrandr, strange (proprietary) 
way controlling the external output
* everything worked by default in Hardy Alpha6, does not work after upgrade to 
the Beta
* whitelisting of my card working card would be nice lspci: VGA compatible 
controller: ATI Technologies Inc M22 [Mobility Radeon X300]; on Thinkpad T43
* the real problem is trying to turn the effects in the Preferences > 
Appearance > Visual Effects installs the proprietary fglrx driver without 
confirmation! And this (fglrx) crashes frequently.

What is the 'proper' way turning the 3d effects with the radeon driver then?
* put SKIP_CHECKS=yes in ~/.config/compiz/compiz-manager
* hacking the wrapper script?

What is minimal editing needed for xorg.conf?
