As posted few days ago by Vladimir, newer fglrx ATi proprietary drivers supports the Composite extension (also if it provides buggy rendering for some apps), that's why using the non-tftp rendering you could run Compiz in fglrx drivers too without loading Xgl.
However the use-copy option makes compiz do some checks that the fglrx drivers don't pass (I don't know why, since the required extensions are available according to glxinfo), so Vladimir suggested me a workaround to this, and I've applied in a similar way in the foollowing patch: compiz-force-fglrx-with-copy.patch - http://tinyurl.com/35gwjf After applying this patch (that needs compiz-use-copy-rendering.patch and maybe an ABIVERSION change) fglrx users could try Compiz in their ATi cards using the "--force-fglrx" parameter. I've tested it in my mobility 9700 and I've made some shots too: http://tinyurl.com/2lvqmk I don't think this is an usable way (yet?!) since composite extension by ATi seems really buggy, however mostly works, so... Give a try! PS: I could have done the same using an environment varialble touching only screen.c maybe, but this way is better from the user point of view. -- Treviño's Blog - Life and Linux http://3v1n0.tuxfamily.org/blog/ _______________________________________________ compiz mailing list compiz@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/compiz
