[ethan@localhost ~]$ glxinfo | grep direct
direct rendering: Yes

The resolution of my screen is pretty low.
However, I could not turn on desktop effect. Has anybody met with such a problem? How do you tackle with such a serious problem? Thanks!

Same problem here, already posted the issue in the aixgl, xgl desktop-effectis toppic.
These are the known issues of the new driver:

* There is no support for video playback on the second head in dual head mode.
* Desktop corruption may be noticed when dragging the overlay/video when using dual-display mode.
* A black screen may be observed on some hardware when switching to the console or leaving the X window system when a Vesa framebuffer console driver is used.
* Corruption may be noticed in the lower right corner of the display after the system is running for a long period of time
* Display flicker may be noticed when the gnome screen-saver starts
* Diagonal tearing may be noticed when playing a video file using a video player that utilizes the XVideo extension
* Video playback may look blocky when playing a video file using a video player that utilizes the XVideo extension
* Video Playback may display wrong colors and additional shadow images when cropping or expanding a video file using a video player that utilizes the XVideo extension
* Connecting a display device that supports 1680x1050 to a system running Linux may result in a maximum display resolution of 1280x1024 only being available
* Custom mode lines in xorg.conf may be ignored by the fglrx driver
* Building RPM packages for Mandriva may fail

I really hope there is a fix for this... If anyone has the new driver and was able to set a resolution higher than 1280x1024 it would be nice to know...
