Description:
/usr/bin/compiz-manager should include fglrx in the whitelist. Even though fglrx isn't in the main repos, it's not hurting by adding it to the whitelist since fglrx is compatible with compiz.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
try running compiz-manager with the fglrx driver enabled; it will fallback to metacity
This task depends upon

just appending fglrx to WHITELIST in the script works? (i've no way to test it so...)

Without the proposed change:

[foutrelis@foutbox ~]$ compiz-manager
Checking for Xgl: not present.
/usr/bin/compiz-manager: line 241: xset: command not found
xset q doesn't reveal the location of the log file. Using fallback /var/log/Xorg.0.log
No whitelisted driver found
aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity

With the proposed change:

[foutrelis@foutbox ~]$ compiz-manager
Checking for Xgl: not present.
/usr/bin/compiz-manager: line 241: xset: command not found
xset q doesn't reveal the location of the log file. Using fallback /var/log/Xorg.0.log
Detected PCI ID for VGA: 01:05.0 0300: 1002:9710 (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
Checking for texture_from_pixmap: present.
Checking for non power of two support: present.
Checking for Composite extension: present.
Comparing resolution (1280x1024) to maximum 3D texture size (8192): Passed.
Checking for nVidia: not present.
Checking for FBConfig: present.
Checking for Xgl: not present.

So, I guess it works. I'm left border-less after starting compiz-manager, but I suppose this is the expected behavior with only compiz-{core,manager} installed. :p

this bug is no longer present in current versions of fglrx/compiz in repos; i'd go ahead and close this as it has been fixed upstream.

This bug is still present for compiz-manager 0.6 and catalyst 2012-01. fglrx should definitely be added to the whitelist.
