I spent a couple hours this morning thrashing this and was not able to
setup a working flgrx restricted compiz environment on my gutsy (current
as of last night) system.
What I did to test:
dropped fglrx from the restricted list in /etc/default/linux-res*
rebooted (to insure picking up linux-restr* version of fglrx and confirmed
that version in /var/log/X*log
moved the two *glx* files back into /etc/X11/Xsession.d
modified my xorg.conf as per what I ran across on the web:
Section "Device"
Identifier "X1600"
Driver "fglrx"
Option "VideoOverlay" "off"
Option "OpenGLOverlay" "on"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "enable"
EndSection
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AIGLX" "off"
EndSection
and restarted /etc/X11/gdm
result was glxgears ran, through jerky, and fglrx_glxgears did not run at all
due to missing DRI on DISPLAY :1.0
Firefox was ungodly slow w/ text input and some of the gnome applets were
consuming lots of CPU
I reverted ...
I'm now running ati's fglrx binary in a gnome non-compiz env by moving the two
glx files out of the way in /etc/X11/Xsession.d
and blocking the gutsy fglrx module in /etc/default/linux-res* and restarting
gdm.
With those changes firefox is fast, movies work (mplayer -fs -vo gl2 *.mp*),
and I don't have compix
I may have an odd env. having upgraded from feisty w/ my custom xorg.conf
but I don't know what I could be doing wrong.
My plan is to wait for the upcoming ati binary flgrx that supports
compiz directly.
