So, I am installing Compiz 6.0 (or so it seems) from the XGL Build Service, and wanted to check to see if there was an announcement on compiz.org, and nothing..

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:
[root Rankin-P35a/home/david] # rpm -qa | grep compiz compiz-fusion-plugins-extra-0.5.2_git070824-22 compiz-emerald-0.5.2_git070825-1.4 compiz-fusion-kde-0.5.2-3.1 compiz-emerald-themes-0.5.2_git070825-2.6 compiz-fusion-plugins-main-0.5.2_git070824-22 compizconfig-settings-manager-0.5.2_git070825-22 compiz-kde-0.5.4-40.2 libcompizconfig-0.5.2_git070824-22 libcompizconfig-backend-gconf-0.5.2_git070824-23 compiz-0.5.4-40.2 libcompizconfig-backend-kconfig-0.5.2_git070825-1.4 compiz-manager-0.0.1_git071011-6.1 python-compizconfig-0.5.2_git070825-22
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,
Have you tried the newest ATI/AMD Driver released yesterday?
Ben
Nope,
But thanks for the heads up! I'm off to try it now and I will report back. I have my fingers crossed!
Ben, What new driver are are you referring to and where can I get it? The drivers I have are: [root rankin-p35a/home/david] # rpm -qa | grep fglrx ati-fglrxG01-kmp-default-8.41.7_2.6.22.5_30-1.1 x11-video-fglrxG01-8.41.7-5.1 and I can't find any newer at http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linux/linux-radeon.html or www2.ati.com/suse/10.3 -- David C.
