Here is a bit more information:

	I don't do anything different when booting or starting Arch with any of the 
kernels or the radeon driver. I am totally confused why compiz works great with 
LTS, but white-screens with the current kernel. For both kernels, I don't use an 
xorg.conf and the modules loaded look the same:


23:07 alchemy:~> kdesu kwrite /boot/grub/menu.lst
23:08 alchemy:~> uname -a
Linux alchemy 2.6.32-lts #1 SMP Wed Jun 2 10:23:08 UTC 2010 x86_64 AMD 
Turion(tm) 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-58 AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
23:09 alchemy:~> lsmod | grep rad
radeon                566427  2
ttm                    35663  1 radeon
drm_kms_helper         22278  1 radeon
drm                   151569  5 radeon,ttm,drm_kms_helper
i2c_algo_bit            5031  1 radeon
i2c_core               18070  4 i2c_piix4,radeon,drm,i2c_algo_bit

	Allan, anybody, can you think of a reason compiz would be white-screening with 
the current kernel and working fine with LTS?
