I hope it's not rejected. I understand the desire for the correct
solution, and on the face of it you could argue that the fglrx driver
should not have slow performance with the existing xorg code, however I
think we should be pragmatic given the facts. Lots of people want to use
the fglrx driver and want to use desktop effects. It's not nice to do
driver specific hacks but looking at it another way it's a bit like
having having to deal with different driver capabilities to provide
useable results, something that's not unusual in the real world of
software on any platform. I might be wrong but it doesn't seem that the
conditional patch would have lots of negative effects on many other
clients, I suppose with extensive testing the patch could show some
other issues. I guess the days of manually patching your own Linux
system are not over. I think I would have to get the latest source next
time and apply the patch and make sure I don't make the same mistake
with the package version!
