There's some interesting stuff in the compiz script, apart from the
check pointed out by Yann Papouin. If I count the number of times that
"texture from pixmap" appears on glxinfo while using radeon (the FOSS
driver), I get:
$ glxinfo | grep texture_from_pixmap
GLX_ARB_multisample, GLX_EXT_import_context, GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap,
GLX_SGIX_visual_select_group, GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap
$ glxinfo | grep texture_from_pixmap -c
2
I've also grepped Edward Clark's full glxinfo report and
"texture_from_pixmap" also appears just two times, even though he is
using fglrx and I am using radeon. Please note that my card is a
Mobility Radeon 9600. But of course compiz loads with radeon[1]. I see
the hardy version is still 7.11 (I haven't tried it yet), but as
reverting xorg-core won't happen (I'm 99% sure of that), we'll have to
wait for a newer fglrx release. Does any of you know if 8.01 works with
xserver 1.4?
[1] After dist-upgrading to hardy, compiz refused to start, but that's
because the script was pointing to /usr/local/ instead of /usr/ for both
compiz.real binary and plugin libraries.
