Hi Erwann,
i just install it on my ferrari 3400.
Here is the result of my different tests.
1 - Enable DRI : run the install.sh script from radeon-nv77.tar.gz with
this option "install". Don't forget to include this parameter for this
notebook in your xorg.conf file :
Option "BusType" "PCI"
Result : impossible to load the driver on Nevada.
Workaround : change the permissions of both radeon driver located on
/kernel/drv and /kernel/drv/amd64 directories
2 - Install Compiz-Fusion 0.6
Result :on JDS reload, the "Completing post install setup" box run,
run and run. This is also the case for Nvidia based machines.
Workaround : clean all hidden files and directory. Yes, i known,
this is "brutal".
3 - Insert some additional parameters on Xorg.conf, like :
Section "Screen":
Option "RenderAccel" "True"
Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "True"
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection
Result : Compiz-Fusion run correctly, but .... some applications or
part of applications (gnome-panel, StarOffice splash screen, all gtk
menus, ) are a white border. All applications are uncompleted content
drawing after compiz activation. StarOffice refuse to start correctly =>
Freeze from splash screen
Workaround : for some applications, for example CompizConfig
Settings Manager, if the content is not visible, just minimize/maximize
it. This is the same when you change from tab.
Maybe is some parameters wrong.
Regards
Pascal
