Hello all,
I am running Hardy. I have an ATI mobility radeon which I believe uses the r300 chip. I just installed the xf86-video-ati drivers, downloading them with git then compiling/installing. The performance appears to be great! However, I cannot get compiz to start. Here is what happens:
$ compiz
Checking for Xgl: not present.
Found laptop using ati driver.
aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity
The screen flickers then returns to normal. Not a very descriptive error message either. I have searched but have been unable to find any further information on this. Any ideas?
