Aha: jockey-gtk launches the prop.driver activation. I didn't know that. Thanks.
The relevant jockey file is probably /usr/share/jockey/handlers/fglrx.py . That file contains the relevant key words 'fglrx' and 'glx'. And it does *not* contain a Screen-Default-Depth-24 line: exactly the behaviour we see. Oh, and BTW: it writes contain the Composite-0-section. Is there a reason for Composite-0 in xorg.conf? Because that blocks Compiz, and I have to remove it manually to get Compiz running. I had a look at Ubuntu 7.10, but jockey does not exist there. Is jockey new since Ubuntu 8.04? As a reference, I had a look at the other jockey handlers: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ll /usr/share/jockey/handlers total 32 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 466 2008-02-19 23:52 b43.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 817 2008-02-22 03:08 b43.pyc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1279 2008-02-19 23:52 fglrx.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1726 2008-02-22 03:08 fglrx.pyc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2317 2008-02-19 23:52 nvidia.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3155 2008-02-22 03:08 nvidia.pyc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1227 2008-02-19 23:52 sl_modem.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1696 2008-02-22 03:08 sl_modem.pyc [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cd /usr/share/jockey/handlers [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/share/jockey/handlers$ grep -i Screen *py nvidia.py: self.xorg_conf.getSections('Screen')[0].defaultdepth = 24 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/share/jockey/handlers$ So the nvidia.py handler does write the line Screen-DefaultDepth-24: def enable_config_hook(self): # compiz does not work otherwise self.xorg_conf.getSections('Screen')[0].defaultdepth = 24 Interesting. Maybe we can just 'transplant' that code into our fglrx.py? I'll try that and let you know.
