It is in my experience and that of many others... With XAA you're
basically disabling 2D acceleration with compiz, also you'll likely run
into trouble using XVideo.

If EXA doesn't work well, it's most likely due to its offscreen memory
area being too small, possibly due to suboptimal configuration.

Anyway, if XAA works for you...

I had an idea to try XAA and that works very well...

I was under the impression that EXA was the way to go on R300s and up.

Relevant section of xorg.conf:

Section "Device"
Identifier  "ATI RADEON 9600XT"
Driver  "radeon"
BusID   "PCI:1:0:0"
Option  "EnablePageFlip""true"
Option  "DRI"   "on"
Option  "AccelMethod"   "EXA"
EndSection

Thanks for the suggestion, though.

Did you try with EXA rather than the default XAA?

Thanks for the tip, Simon.

However, the performance is less than acceptable on my Radeon 9600XT
with the xorg radeon driver (rather than fglrx).  Oh well...

Thanks,

If somebody can find out why compiz is segfaulting while running
dlclose() on the glib plugin, or explain where the dep on
libcompizconfig comes from, I'm more than happy to upload a fix.  Not so
much just adding a dependency without understanding why.  It's too late
for lenny r0, but could still happen for r1...
(also I'm not sure why it's unloading the plugin in the first place)

Cheers,
Julien

Package: compiz

I'm also affected by this bug. Installing 
compizconfig-settings-manager fixed the segfault.

VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV770 [Radeon HD 4850]
Driver: fglrx 8-12-4

Is there anyone that can run it without this dependency? If not, you should 
consider to raise the severity of this bug to critical and try to fix it for 
lenny.

It seems to affect a lot of systems and it's not what I expect from a package 
in a 
stable release. I'm aware that compiz has many other unresolved problems, but 
the 
dependencies should be correct.

Thanks.
