Is this going to be the "Stable" release? Damn I sure hope so..

Ben Ben,

Tell me how you got it to work. I have gone by 2 different howtos specific for my ATI card and I still cant get compiz to do anything other than bring my desktop to its knees. Literally watching each pixel get drawn. This on my Toshiba P35, ATI 9700, 1G of RAM.

Do you have a favorite link you will post? I would love to check compiz out. I get the compiz icon in the task bar, I restart the desktop, but nothing.... I seem to have everything installed:

Though it looks like I'm one version behind. Any help would be greatly appreciated. In the mean time, I'll install 0.6.0 and see if that helps.

David,

Yes, to each their own. AMD Considers it to be the "Oh My God" driver, but I consider it to be the "About F'ing Time" driver. :o).

Where do I start? Is there anything short of a complete xorg remove/reinstall that will begin to sort out this mess? Any ideas? Anyone?

The build and install process used is shown below.

------------------------------------------ Building and Installing the New ATI Driver ------------------------------------------

Prepare the kernel

# su password # cd /usr/src/linux # make mrproper # make cloneconfig # make modules_prepare # make clean

Remove old drivers

# rpm -e $(rpm -qa | grep fglrx)

Generate new driver

# sh ati-driver-installer-8.42.3-x86.x86_64.run --listpkg # sh ati-driver-installer-8.42.3-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg SuSE/SUSE103-IA32

Check that the new driver rpms were successfully created in /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i386

# l /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i386/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11073729 2007-10-22 19:45 fglrx_7_1_0_SUSE102-8.40.4-1.i386.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 15365859 2007-10-24 20:31 fglrx_7_1_0_SUSE103-8.42.3-1.i386.rpm

Go to Runlevel 3

# init 3

Install the new rpms created in /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i386

# rpm -Uvh /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i386/fglrx*.rpm

After the install is finished, you need to launch the aticonfig utility

# ldconfig # aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf

Configure the new driver with sax2

# sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx

Check other important Settings in the xorg.conf

For best and most stable working fglrx driver set the following options to Section "Device" in the xorg.conf:

Option "BlockSignalsOnLock" "on" Option "KernelModuleParm" "locked-userpages=0" Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off" Option "UseFastTLS" "2" Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "no" Option "VideoOverlay" "on" Option "mtrr" "off" Option "no_accel" "no" Option "no_dri" "no" Option "EnablePrivateBackZ" "no" Option "backingstore" "true"

All OK - reboot -----------------------------------------

The Bug is that the install left different versions of the libraries in different places. Specifically, the file: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 391344 2007-09-21 20:34 libGL.so.1.2* was left in /usr/lib and was conflicting with the new library in 02:43 Rankin-P35a~/linux/usr/lib> l /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2007-10-25 01:20 /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so -> libGL.so.1* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 2007-10-25 01:20 /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.1.2* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 679655 2007-10-25 01:18 /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2* The solution was to move the old libGL.so.1.2 and replace it with a link to /usr/X11r6/libGL.so.1.2 Now fgl_glxgears and fglrxinfo will work as they should. However after gnome-xgl-switch --enable-xgl and reboot, compiz is non-operational on the laptop. The desktop appears, the mouse will move, but that is it, the rest is DOA. ctrl+alt+backspace kills X but results in the frozen black sax screen from hell. I don't get it. 3D is blazing after correcting the library conflict, but still no compiz. It took less than 5 minutes on my box with the nvidia card, but still no joy here. -- David C.

Xgl is not required as shown in the the post above, we are configuring AIGLX. If you don't do anything extra and blindly follow each step there you should get a working Compiz with 8.42. You have leftover libGL everywhere because you need clean install of openSUSE or cleanly uninstalled earlier fglrx drivers: rpm -e x11-video-fglrxG01-8.40.4-1 ati-fglrxG01-kmp-default-8.40.4_2.6.22.9_0.4-1.i586 way or sh /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh. -J -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Well, that is what I thought too, but when I checked xorg.0.log, I found the following: (II) LoadModule: "glx" (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules//extensions/libglx.so (II) Module glx: vendor="X.Org Foundation" compiled for 7.2.0, module version = 1.0.0 ABI class: X.Org Server Extension, version 0.3 (==) AIGLX disabled (II) Loading extension GLX When is says "disabled", I had no reason to think that compiz would run on AIGLX on this system.

I do that every time. How did I get leftover libGL everywhere? Should I try to rebuild the rpm db somehow to see if it would create errors on the spurious files libGL files? -- David C.

Disregard, I found Option “AIGLX” “true” on you blog, Thanks!

Which libGL files are the right libGL files? Should I trash all the duplicates dated 9/21?
