Same problem here with ati 9200SE card.  Worked very well in ubuntu
9.04.  I have changed to 16 bit colour to get wallpaper background to
show while using compiz, by using a manual edit to xorg.conf. The
important bits of that are here:-

Section "Device"
	Identifier	"Configured Video Device"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier	"Configured Monitor"
			HorizSync	30-80
			VertRefresh	50-75
EndSection

Section "Screen"
	Identifier	"Default Screen"
	Monitor		"Configured Monitor"
	Device		"Configured Video Device"
	DefaultDepth	16
	SubSection "Display"
		Modes		"1280x1024" "1280x960" "1152x864" "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480"
	EndSubSection
EndSection
