I know this is not a new issue but... let's try again.
The title is pretty much the situation. I reinstalled the whole system recently and installed Catalyst which worked good except for a delay on maximizing/resizing windows. Yesterday I saw the new about Catalyst going to AUR and all that stuff so I decided to switch to open source drivers. They work pretty good but the wiki-way to start compiz without fusion-icon which used to work with catalyst does not work anymore.

Have you installed ati-dri ?
Compiz fusion is a bit of a problem, while Kwin4 on the other hand doens't "complain" about a minimal Xorg.conf.

Thanks.
Yes, I have it installed. Maybe I'll give kde 4.3 a try but by now...

Did you try with XAA instead of EXA?
I never managed to get Compiz working on my >Thinkpad A31p using EXA - XAA works fine. Some searching about this lead me to some threads where other users stated that a xorg patch (from Fedora? I don't remember) causes X to crash using EXA and Compiz Fusion.

mmm... Compiz works fine, but only if I run fusion-icon; otherwise i get the typical no-borders windows on login. I want it to run instead (no replacing) metacity, as it used to do with Catalyst drivers.
I don't know, maybe open-source drivers are available too late in booting and that's why compiz cannot start... That is my theory...

Compiz has the problem --> it needs some arguments too work with the latest technologies in the open source drivers.

In your compiz.desktop instead of:
Exec=compiz ccp
It should be:
Exec=compiz --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp --indirect-rendering
Edit:
If you still have problems after that you need to export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1, which is what fusion-icon is doing.
