[SOLVED] Compiz Fusion Help?

[Cochise]

I have a Toshiba Satellite L20, and have been trying to get Compiz-Fusion working. I have enabled the ATI driver in the restricted drivers manager. UT2004, CSS, Half-life 2, Quake 3, etc all work so the driver is apparently working. When i run compiz --replace to start Compiz-Fusion the screen goes black and then comes back the same as it was. I have removed Compiz-Fusion fully and removed the repo's too from my sources.list.

If any other information is needed just let me know. I've been considering installing mandriva to see if Compiz-Fusion will work in it. I tried installing the driver from the ATI site and it installed correctly and worked but i experienced sound problems, e.g. a sound would be played and then sort of loop or skip until i restarted the computer, restarting the Xorg system wouldn't fix the sound skipping.

[zero244]

When I ran fglrx as the driver I had to install and enable XGL with a script so it would start from a separate session at the logon screen. Or you can set it up to load automatically on boot up. I always ran it as a separate session in case I got into a loop situation and wanted to turn it off.
Their are How Tos to do this.
With my particular card I could only run Compiz with XGL.
I dont if this helps
Good Luck

Also somehow this section deosnt quite look right.

You need to enable composite, Im not sure if your doing that. I could be wrong. If you keep looking around you should find the answer to your problem.

Here is how my section looks

I had to install and enable XGL with a script so it would start from a separate session at the logon screen.

I followed a HOW-TO for setting it up that way and had no luck the screen just went black as described in my first post. I'm really stumped on this one. :confused:

[zero244]

If you look around the black screen is fairly common if your drivers and xorg.conf is not setup right.
Your card should be supported to run Compiz-Fusion.
Just do some searching on Google and this forum.
Everything looks good in your xorg.conf, there may be a option or line that is missing to cure the black screen.
I have gotten the White screen and the black screen before. And in both cases it was a inappropriate entry in my xorg.conf file.
By removing those lines the black screen went away.
On this machine I am running edgy with beryl and its running completely stable. I am not having any problems at all.
And I think Compiz-Fusion is just as stable if not more so.
Look around for How Tos with people running a card similar to yours.
If your loading XGL but your Xserver is actually using aiglx that will cause a conflict.
Or if your loading XGL and Compiz is using the nvidia server that will cause a problem
You need to determine which server is actually running and which server Compiz is using.
A single wrong entry in your xorg.conf can cause the black screen problem.
There are a lot of people running the ATI 1600 card so seek them out and find out whats working for them.
Someone suggested a bios update might fix your problem.
It might fix your problem but I would do that as a last resort.
After youve tried everything else.
Updating your Bios 99 times out of a hundred will not cause a problem, but as you probably know there is a slight risk that you could wreck your motherboard.

Something you might try if you haven't already. Uninstall Compix-Fusion and install Beryl 2x and see if you can get it running ok.

Good luck keep us posted on your progress.

Made an XGL session and success Compiz-Fusion is working, but unfortunately none of 3D games work properly, Quake III Arena has glitchy graphics. Any ideas? When i log on without an XGL session my games work perfectly.

Good work glad you have Compiz-Fusion running good.
Is Compiz-Fusion running fast and stable?

As far as your games go you may have to turn off Compiz and xgl to get good frame rates.
The new games are really taxing your system and XGL isnt the best platform to run high end games.
I dont play many games in Linux at the moment. I do play Tremulous online and I can play Ok with Beryl running.
But I have a feeling if I tried to play HL2 online or off it would be a bit much.
Its pretty good that youve got the games going at all.
The ATI 1600 card is a decent card......apparently the drivers are not using the full potential when running the card in a XGL session.
So you may have to turn off Compiz-F logout and back in without XGL to play your games the way you like.
That is what I usually do when Im playing Tremulous, just to give me full acceleration.
A Windows friend of mine has your card and it plays his games in XP very well.
