you need also to enable damage and render extension in the extensions section. here's what ity should look like: Section "Extensions" Option "DAMAGE" "true" Option "RENDER" "true" Option "Composite" "Enable" EndSection you'll also need to enable texturedrender in your device section to enable the Xv. i've been not using fglrx for some months now (the xf86-video-ati is quite enough for my needs) and i don't remember all the hacks that are available for fglrx driver. look at the phoronix forums for more detailed configuration infos about fglrx. by the way, what ati board do you posses?! maybe the xf86-video-ati is better than fglrx for your needs (it has xv, exa and opengl acceleration for boards till r500). -- dott. ing. beso
