Done - now I get a GDM screen that is entirely black, except for the text box. Username/Passwd does not show as I type them.
Once logged in, I can launch fusion-icon. It works, but AIGLX is a lot slower than XGL
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!
