Which ones? The proprietary FGLRX drivers, or the radeon/radeonhd/etc open
drivers?
I had a fair degree of difficulty with fglrx when I first started using AMD
graphics, but now that Debian has included it in their DKMS package layout, the
whole thing Just Works for me.
On the other hand, I never got more than mediocre performance with the open
drivers - even to the point of visibly slow 2D-only performance, just scrolling
text in an xterm.

FWIW, I noticed this same behavior in the VM I've been using for E17 testing. It
seemed to work when I first toggled to "OpenGL", but then when I shut down the
VM and restarted later, any attempt to load the Composite module would "crash"
the WM, and when it came back up the module would be unloaded again.
To fix that and allow myself to test Composite again, I had to shut down X,
rename my ~/.e/ directory, and let it be re-generated on next launch - which of
course switched back to "Software" mode. There are probably less drastic
manual-config-modification ways to achieve the same thing.
I chalked it up to a VirtualBox bug, but if you're seeing it on actual hardware
maybe it isn't.
