xgl is not a good solution to this problem as it introduces even worse problems than not having compiz running in the first place.
the core of this problem is in fglrx's lack of aiglx support for xorg server 1.4. hopefully if amd gets poked enough about this then they will fix the issue. Changing: Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "0" EndSection to Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "1" EndSection Doesn't resolve the problem. Tho when it does get resolved it'd be nice if this was changed to "1" by default. ** Changed in: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24 (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- [fglrx] compiz will not launch with fglrx driver - falls back to metacity https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173663 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
