fglrx + compiz

[ASULutzy]

Hey all, I've been using Hardy 64 for a while now, and I've been with compiz and fglrx for quite some time trying to get rid of the flickering that happens whenever running a 3D app... I could have sword that it was fixed briefly a little while ago, but then a compiz update re-flickerized it.

Now that Hardy is officially released, I figure I'd ask, has anyone found a solution other than disabling compiz and using metacity for getting rid of that annoying flickering?

On another note, if there's anyone that catches this, are there any options I should add/change in my xorg.conf to maximize performance?

I'm using ATI's 2900XT (512 MB) with 4GB of RAM and an Intel Q6600.

Here's my xorg.conf

Suggest you read this (http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?t=6794)

Changing some values in ccsm>General Options>Display settings, might help too. Otherwise, let's hope ATI gets (a lot) better:)

Cool, I'll edit my xorg.conf accordingly

I actually found a solution for getting fullscreen 3d apps to not flicker, simply go to ccsm and turn on undirect fullscreen windows in general options.

Nice easy fix.
