Hi, OK, it seems to work now. All I had to do was following what was said on this page http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/ATI_with_AIGLX i.e. edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and adding the lines Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "Enable" EndSection and Option "AIGLX" "True" in the Section "ServerLayout". Then I restarted the Xserver and ran fusion-icon. So far it hasn't crashed. Great! Now my next question would be: How do I get different desktop backgrounds on different sides of "the cube"?. And how can I give names to the different sides? I am using the KDE pager and the cube only uses the first of my four desktops and takes the background image for all four cube sides from there. I.e. all four sides look the same... Ken Schneider wrote:

Yes, thanks, I did that. It says setting up Xgl is not necessary in 10.3 "This is not necessary for using compiz, since Compiz can directly run on Xorg now."
And indeed glxgears runs correctly without any xgl installation.
The only thing which is not clear is whether I do need to install a different graphics card driver. The radeon 7500 is quite old and I read somewhere that it is not compatible with the fglrx driver. The automatic setup chose the driver module "radeon" for my card.
Has anybody experience with the radeon 7500 card and the fglrx driver?
Thanks
Dirk
Did you run this command (or at least try it)?
gnome-xgl-switch --enable-xgl
I, too, have an old ATI card in my test machine and after running this command compiz just worked, a little slow but it works.
