Hi,
When my hard-disk made suspicious noises recently, I decided to replace
it - be safe rather than sorry - and use the opportunity to do a
complete, fresh install of my system. The new system is up and running
(OpenOffice troubles aside), with the added advantage that I finally
managed to get to the most recent ATI binary driver version instead of
that stone-age version that happened to not hang my system under the old
setup.
With the new driver, I want to use its AIGLX capabilities. However, I'm
having trouble getting XComposite to work. I have it enabled in xorg.conf:
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection
Xorg.0.log agrees:
$ grep -i composite /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(**) Extension "Composite" is enabled
(II) fglrx(0): Sync: Separate Composite SyncOnGreen
(II) Initializing built-in extension COMPOSITE
I've got direct rendering and the RENDER extension:
(II) fglrx(0): Direct rendering enabled
(II) Initializing built-in extension RENDER
And the damage protocol:
(II) Initializing built-in extension DAMAGE
Unfortunately, xdpyinfo disagrees:
$ xdpyinfo | grep -i composite
$
And so does KDE4 (System Settings, Desktop, Desktop Effects), telling me
that compositing is not supported on my system, and that XDamage and
XComposite are not available.
I can't find any information on troubleshooting the problem. Can you
help me out?
Full xorg.conf is attached. I've enabled the xcomposite use flag and
done the Paludis equivalent of emerge -N world.
