compiz - Dec 2007 - SuSE 10.3 New 711 Driver - Fatal: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing

Guys,

	Since loading xorg 7.3 I have not been able to get compiz working on my
Toshiba Satellite laptop with the ATI mobility radeon 9700 card. I was
hoping that the new driver would work, but unfortunately I still receive
fatal errors when trying to start compiz. Here is the error:


20:27 rankin-p35a~> compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints
ccp --indirect-rendering --no-libgl-fallback emerald --replace
compiz (core) - Fatal: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing
compiz (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0
compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0


	Does anybody have any thoughts on this problem, or what I could try to
attempt to get compiz back? I have made the required library
adjustments, but still no luck:

20:37 rankin-p35a~> l /usr/lib/libGL.so*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     10 2007-11-09 16:19 /usr/lib/libGL.so ->

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     20 2007-11-09 16:19
/usr/lib/libIndirectGL.so.1.sav -> libIndirectGL.so.1.2*

	Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Use 7.2 unless there are some features in 7.3 you cannot live without.

You do not have to change any library paths.

How do I downgrade safely? Do I just use the command line version of
yast and delete everything I can find that has xorg.7.3 and then
reinstall everything with xorg.7.2?? Is there a better way?
