    AIGLX + compiz on etch

    Hi all
    I tried set up 3D desktop on my machine but i have failed.
    I followed antidrugue howto http://technowizah.com/2006/10/debia...lx-compiz.html but it doesn't worked.
    When i enable the composite extension the direct rendering goes away.
    Any idea?
    Thanks for any help.

    Perhaps you have an ATI card?

    I suppose you have to use the free RADEON driver then. Not sure AIGLX works well with the FGLRX driver. I don't have an ATI card anymore to test though.

    Nop, the fglrx driver doesn't work at all with AIGLX

    Just use "radeon" instead of "fglrx" in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.

    Hi
    I read somewhere the radeon driver only works with the 9250 series or older cards.
    Is that true?

    I know it worked on my old 9550, so perhaps your information is a bit dated.

    The best way to know for sure is to try it on your card.
