I am guessing that the ATI-supplied driver is needed to use Compiz and all that, right? The X.Org RADEONHD driver cannot be used?
Too bad ATI dropped support for the FireGL V3300. Is my only option to get a newer card?
Roger, I'm still working on this as well. I have probably 6-8 computers with what were excellent ATI cards until ATI shot the middle finger at all ATI cards more than 2 years old. If you are running 11.0, the 8.9 driver is Excellent! for older cards. Some even get good results with the 9.3 driver (my box doesn't). If you are running 11.1, you are stuck with the 9.3 driver (you can also run the 8-12, 9.1, and 9.2 drivers if they work on your hardware) As for compiz with the radeon driver, I have an Arch box that I am running the radeon driver on because ATI never put out a driver for that distro. So far I haven't had any luck with indirect rendering (AIGLX) enabled with the radeon driver. I'm not sure whether the issue is the driver or whether I haven't hit on the magic combination of driver options and GLX/AIGLX options. I'll post back when/if I hit on a solid combination that works. I don't see why you shouldn't be able to run compiz with the radeon driver. Hell, I can run compiz on the stock intel driver, so why not the radeon driver?? Anyone else who know more, please chime in and let us know. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
