Hello folks!

After a lot of work and a little luck I finally got my Radeon 6850 running again but I can't get any 3d rendering (I'm guessing that's the issue?) Basically if I try to run any type of game from quadrapassel to Civ IV the application window will appear and then instantly close. Compiz & desktop effects work fine.

I followed the cchtml wiki for the installation of the catalyst drivers and here's where I think my problem lies

When I enter the command: $ glxgears I get this:

:~$ glxgears
X Error of failed request: GLXBadDrawable
Major opcode of failed request: 161 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 11 (X_GLXSwapBuffers)
Serial number of failed request: 78
Current serial number in output stream: 111

Any ideas where to go from here? I've tried installing the xorg edgers ppa (I think that was the name). But still no effect. I have also tried disabling fastTLS.

Here is a copy of my xorg.conf file if that will help.

Any direction you guys could give me would be great, no rush tho - finals are coming up so I don't need to be getting all I can get out of my GPU right now anyway Mahalo!
