Christopher, 
I went to  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/saucy/+source/linux/  and followed the link <show build> which brought me to 
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/saucy/+source/linux/+builds. There I found "i386 build of linux 3.11.0-8.15 in ubuntu saucy" on September 20th should be the one, which was working for me.  I got the packages from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/3.11.0-8.15 (4 packages, 2 headers, image, image-extra) and installed them. After booting this kernel

hp@hp:~$ uname -a
Linux hp 3.11.0-8-generic #15-Ubuntu SMP Fri Sep 20 04:11:16 UTC 2013 i686 athlon i686 GNU/Linux
hp@hp:~$ 

desktop effects were not available still.

This leads to two questions:
1)   Was the 3.11.0-8.15 kernel included in the saucy upgrade distribution package when I upgraded to saucy on Sep.25?
      If not, how can I find  out which one was included? I could also try the previous and the next kernel to that one.
2) What makes us believe the problem lies in the kernel and e.g. not in the X server area?

regards,
Hans-Peter

Title:
  [HP Compaq dc5850 Small Form Factor PC] No desktop effects on a radeon
  3100 graphics card in saucy

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  On raring, my radeon 3100 was working pretty well. desktop cube switch was working, for example. Blur effect slowed the desktop down. When I upgraded to saucy on sept. 25 I soon noticed that the desktop was very fast. I could even enable blur effect and it didn't do any harm. After the update on Sept. 30. all the graphics performance was gone. Most desktop effects are disabled. Compositing type is set to XRender, Qt graphics sytem is set to Native. When I try to set Compositing Type to OpenGL and Qt graphics sytem to Raster, I get the message, that 6 desktop effect could not be enabled. Detail window says this is because they require OpenGL. I have no idea where to start digging, so any help is appreciated.
  regards,Hans-Peter
  BTW: I'm not using the fglrx driver. I guess they quit support for the 3100 a year ago, or maybe two (or they messed something up)
