Strange.. hummm try adding 

Section "ServerLayout"
    Option "AIGLX" "True"
EndSection

and:

This into your device section of xorg.conf
Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"

How are you launching compiz? Try launching using: 

LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=true compiz --replace --indirect-rendering --sm-disable
ccp & 




Solved:

1)      Reinstalled trusty old fglrx 8.40.4 after generating dist-specific
pkg.

        Then I was getting: Compiz (core) - Fatal: No composite extension

2)      Added to xorg.conf:

        Section "Extensions"
                Option         "Composite" "Enable"
        EndSection

        (previously, didn't have to do this, as it was already there)

        Now I had compiz with no window borders and no cube

3)      Launched fusion-icon from the terminal

        Now I was getting: compiz: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing

4)      Created a script containing: LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1
fusion-icon

5)      Added startup program in Control Center > Sessions to run above
script


Note: performance with all drivers newer than 8.40.4 has been absolutely
terrible. I've tinkered with the newer versions and the ATI Repo versions --
at least on this machine, XGL on 8.40.4 spanks AIGLX.

Thank you to everyone that has offered advice and help!
