So I have played a little with compiz-configuration-manager(CCM).
I have tried to activate the cube, and CCM asked me to install the missing glx-plugin. I confirmed with yes, but no effect.
So I have went to Preferences, unmarked the auto plugin loading and added manualy glx to the right panel.
From this moment I have all desktop effects, I want.
The only problem ... I have to resolve ...desktop effects with every session has to be activated again.
Weird....that's one of the problems the open-source radeonhd driver had in beta 5.2 (RC1 fixed it) during that nasty regression.

Now, with RC1, I can set a custom monitor selection using SaX (I have a Micron 19" CRT, which is actually an OEM version of the Panny Panasync/PanaPro P70) and have the 1600x1200@75Hz NI refresh rate (which the monitor supports, but I have to set as a custom rate thanks to EDID of the monitor itself being wonky) actually hold up! (This is something that Ubuntu falls flat on; so does Fedora, unfortunately.)
