I have Radeon 7640 video in my laptop. I don't like opensource radeon driver. It's slow as hell (and makes my laptop hot as hellfire too).

But, it's a good machine with 4 cores, I love it.

I heard fglrx isn't compatible with new X server. Can I drop X server, install wayland and install fglrx?

I have another option: stay with radeon driver but switch from unity to lxde/metacity or gnomeFallback/metacity. I guess it will be faster, because metacity uses 2d not slow 3d. Is this right?
