Sure,

        Make sure your /etc/X11/xorg.conf includes the following at the bottom

Section "DRI"
        Group        "video"
        Mode         0660
EndSection

Section "Extensions"
        Option      "Composite" "true"
        Option      "DAMAGE" "true"
EndSection


** Also, be aware that ATI broke 3D in the 8-12 driver you installed, but
unfortunately, that is all we have until the 9-1 driver is released. Also,
performance of the 8-12 driver sucks compared to earlier versions. 8-9 is the
last good performer, but that doesn't support 11.1 :-(
