I don't remember exactly, but I had quite the same issues with fglrx on my 4870x2 at some moment. I've just switched to opensource driver and enjoyed faster compositing that I had with fglrx:) -- Best regards, Valentin Pavlyuchenko 2010/6/1 Seb : > On Mon, 31 May 2010 15:58:50 -0500, > Seb wrote: > > [...] > > Doing "awk '/Composite/' /var/log/Xorg.0.log" I see: > > ------ > (**) Extension "Composite" is enabled > (II) fglrx(0): Sync: Separate Composite > (II) fglrx(0): Composite extension is not loaded > (II) fglrx(1): Composite extension is not loaded > --- --- > > which suggests the extension is being unloaded at some point, and the > lines above the third line above are: > > --- --- > (II) fglrx(0): GLESX is enabled > (II) LoadModule: "amdxmm" > (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/amdxmm.so > (II) Module amdxmm: vendor="X.Org Foundation" > compiled for 1.7.1, module version = 1.0.0 > (II) Loading extension AMDXVOPL > (II) fglrx(0): Composite extension is not loaded > --- --- > > Any tips? > > -- > Seb > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org > with a subject of "unsubscribe".

compositing unavailable to KDE with Radeon HD 4650 and fglrx driver
Hi, I'm on an AMD64 Hp system (AMD Phenom(tm) 9650 Quad-Core Processor, as reported by Kinfo). I've switched to an ATI Radeon HD 4650 graphics card a few days ago. Everything is back to working conditions, except compositing in KDE. I'm using Debian sid packages for kde and fglrx (the latter built with module-assistant). System Settings says "Compositing is not supported on your system. Required X extensions (XComposite and XDamage) are not available." Switching compositing type under the "Advanced" tab results in the message: "Failed to activate desktop effects using the given configuration options. Settings will be reverted to their previous values. Check your X configuration. You may also consider changing advanced options, especially changing the compositing type. My /etc/X11/xorg.conf has: ------ Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "aticonfig Layout" Screen 0 "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0" 0 0 Screen "amdcccle-Screen[1]-1" 1920 0 EndSection Section "Files" FontPath"/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc" FontPath"/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/:unscaled" FontPath"/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/:unscaled" FontPath"/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1" FontPath"/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi" FontPath"/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi" FontPath"/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType" EndSection Section "Module" Load "dbe" Load "extmod" Load "type1" Load "freetype" Load "GLcore" Load "glx" Load "dri" EndSection Section "ServerFlags" Option "Xinerama" "on" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0" Option "VendorName" "ATI Proprietary Driver" Option "ModelName" "Generic Autodetecting Monitor" Option "DPMS" "true" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "0-CRT1" Option "VendorName" "ATI Proprietary Driver" Option "ModelName" "Generic Autodetecting Monitor" Option "DPMS" "true" Option "PreferredMode" "1280x1024" Option "TargetRefresh" "60" Option "Position" "0 0" Option "Rotate" "normal" Option "Disable" "false" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "0-CRT2" Option "VendorName" "ATI Proprietary Driver" Option "ModelName" "Generic Autodetecting Monitor" Option "DPMS" "true" Option "PreferredMode" "1920x1080" Option "TargetRefresh" "60" Option "Position" "0 0" Option "Rotate" "normal" Option "Disable" "false" EndSection Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "enable" Option "Damage""true" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "aticonfig-Device[0]-0" Driver "fglrx" Option "Monitor-CRT2" "0-CRT2" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "amdcccle-Device[1]-1" Driver "fglrx" Option "Monitor-CRT1" "0-CRT1" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" Screen 1 EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0" Device "aticonfig-Device[0]-0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 EndSubSection EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "amdcccle-Screen[1]-1" Device "amdcccle-Device[1]-1" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 EndSubSection EndSection --- --- Which was produced with aticonfig and the fglrx control center for a dual-monitor setup.
