[compiz] Will radeon or radeonhd work with compiz?
Sam, Danny, J., all I am working with the radeon and radeonhd drivers seeing if I can get them to work with compiz 0.8.2.1 on my radeon x1200 laptop. My xorg .conf is: Section "Device" BoardName "RV350 NP" # Driver "radeon" Driver "radeonhd" Identifier "Device[0]" VendorName "ATI" EndSection I have tried both the radeon and radeon hd driver with same results. Upon Compiz start, the display behaves exactly like it is going to work. The display goes blank, sequentially erasing and redrawing each window, but then it never actually starts. The windows are just left there with no decor. You can sill provide in put to them, but you cannot move or resize them. Issuing kwin --replace causes the reverse to happen (windows destroyed, black screen, windows then redrawn with kde decor. Does anybody have and idea what's happening and how to fix it? Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. Rankin Law Firm, PLLC 510 Ochiltree Street Nacogdoches, Texas 75961 Telephone: (936) 715-9333 Facsimile: (936) 715-9339 www.rankinlawfirm.com

Thanks.Assuming you have the Mesa 3D drivers installed and working properly, then yes, compiz will work just fine. What distribution is this, and how are you trying to start compiz? What's the output of 'glxinfo'? Adam
