fglrx, kernel 2.6.20, dri and composite problem
Hi all, I was running happily Debian Unstable for 3 years, when finally my hard drive died, and I had to install Debian from scratch. I want to install beryl http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install/Debian Very nice outlook which obviously requires 3D acceleration and (as outlined on the page above) the option: Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "Enable" EndSection I tried kernels 2.6.19 and 2.6.20 with the latest ati drivers (8.33.6-1) and the ones included in Debian (2.28.8).

One side effect of enabling Composite is a non functional DRI. It's a pity, but that's the way it used to be. :-( But I read that ATI developers intend to support it somewhere in the future ...maybe version 9.x of the fglrx driver. But no idea how long this may take. If you insist to use these nice 3d desktop effects with an ATI proprietary driver you should use the Xgl server instead of the usual Xorg server.

Re: fglrx, kernel 2.6.20, dri and composite problem
Hi! As far as I know, the official fglrx drivers doesn't allow composite. I have an Ati mobility radeon X700 and I didn't manage to activate composite with those drivers. BUT, on january, debian released new mesa glx and dri packages which supports 3D hardware acceleration for my card, and allows composite. Compiz-xgl works fine, I haven't try beryl. The section device is like this in my case: Section "Device" Identifier "Ati Mobility Radeon X700" Driver "radeon" Option "MonitorLayout" "LVDS,AUTO" #Without this I only see a blank screen, I think it's because of the screen size... not sure Try the free drivers.

Hi Ivan! I used one of this Howtos, I don't remember which one: http://wiki.debian.org/Compiz http://sonique54.free.fr/xgl/xgl.htm BUT, I think Compiz xgl is for gnome. I remember that once I executed it on KDE and it changed the windows schemes to a gnome ones. Maybe there are some options in the config files somewhere, but I haven't check anything... Good luck!

Re: fglrx, kernel 2.6.20, dri and composite problem [SOLVED]
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I guess it is clear for all, but it was not for me.. One should completely _remove_ ati proprietary driver, before trying to use the open source one, since it changes /usr/lib/libGL.so. After removing it and including: deb http://debian.beryl-project.org/ etch main deb-src http://debian.beryl-project.org/ etch main in my sources.list, and running apt-get update; apt-get install beryl, I have radeon driver + composite + kernel 2.6.20 + beryl up and running :) Cheers, Ivan Inko IA wrote: > Hi Ivan! > > I used one of this Howtos, I don't remember which one: > > http://wiki.debian.org/Compiz > http://sonique54.free.fr/xgl/xgl.htm > > BUT, I think Compiz xgl is for gnome.
