Thanks Hlingler:

Here is the all the output, after the moment I attempt to start Compiz:

kdeinit4: preparing to launch

Something is still missing. Download the Compiz-Check utility and execute it: http://www.4shared.com/file/66749426...piz-check.html (the original web site is kaput). See what chokes....

All looks OK to me:

./compiz-check

Gathering information about your system...

Distribution: Fedora
Desktop environment: KDE
Graphics chip: ATI Technologies Inc M76 [Radeon Mobility HD 2600 Series]
Driver in use: fglrx
Rendering method: AIGLX

Checking if it's possible to run Compiz on your system...

Checking for texture_from_pixmap... [ OK ]
Checking for non power of two support... [ OK ]
Checking for composite extension... [ OK ]
Checking for FBConfig... [ OK ]
Checking for hardware/setup problems... [ OK ]

I'm stumped...

Did you delete the existing compiz config files in your $HOME folder as per Leigh's instructions, before running his stuff?

V

Checking for Xgl: not present.
No whitelisted driver found

I'm guessing this is the key errors in my .xsession-errors file.

I'm fairly new to Compiz, however it seems to me I'm using AIGLX and it's looking Compiz is looking for Xgl.

But when I checked out that compiz-check bash script, looks like it checks for a few modes, including the above... So is there a way to tell Compiz to use AIGLX and not Xgl.

It also checks to ensure the driver is on the "whitelist", so that has me perplexed, why .xessions-errors is saying it is NOT found...

Could this be my problem?

That depends on where Compiz[-Check] is checking... which may or may not be correct.

You need to verify that all previously existing config files were purged before proceding.

I was only looking at the posts after Oct. 15, as that was when the 8.10 driver was released.

I did not see that section with regards to deleting the compiz config files in my $HOME

So now what?

What part(s) must be redone

Delete all files in ~/.gconf/apps/compiz

Try again.

X error
 

Hi,
I installed the catalyst 8.10 driver and then copied the x740_64a's module/ contents into /usr/lib64/xor/module . But I get :

In frustration I uninstalled fglrx using the uninstall script to get back to the original radeon drivers, but I still get the same error now. On inspecting Xorg.0.log I noticed this line:

I am really confused. Any suggestions?

Thanks...

I am using KDE 4, so I do NOT have the following:

Delete all files in ~/.gconf/apps/compiz

I do however have ~/.compiz/compiz/compizconfig

and the following two files in there:

config
Default.ini

Also, where is the article from Leigh which describes what to delete (the other processes I was missing). I can't seem to find the post I need.

I may be able to work with it a bit to help me out here.

I'm at a loss, and not sure what else to do...


Thanks again for all your help... I'm slowing making progress, and am looking forward to using Compiz again...

Post the output from fusion-icon

and

Refer: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Xorg/..._Video_Drivers

Check all installed X11 packages for damage:
su -
rpm -V `rpm -qa|grep -i xorg` `rpm -qa|grep -i mesa` libdrm

Re-install/repair damaged packages. Ignore any "...one of dependencies has changed since prelinking..." messages. You're looking for MISSING or damaged files, especially libraries and executables.

I did not have fusion-icon installed, so I did so, then ran as requested. While running fusion icon, it seem to temporarily give me access to the Compiz capabilities ( I was able to spin the cube, which is so cool...)

But I ended up having to perform a CTRL+C to interrupt. After which, it semi-froze my X-Session, I could no longer use the keyboard or switch between windows. Had to restart X with CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE, then all went by to normal, but still could not switch to compiz.

Here is the requested output:

Thanks again...

Try installing fusion-icon-qt


Then post the output for fusion-icon

Also compiz-0.7.6 is old , perhaps compiz-0.7.9 would work better.

I installed that package already... I actually installed all fusion-icon* packages:

fusion-icon.noarch 0.1.0-0.2.5e2dc9git.fc installed
fusion-icon-gtk.noarch 0.1.0-0.2.5e2dc9git.fc installed
fusion-icon-qt.noarch 0.1.0-0.2.5e2dc9git.fc installed

I have not updated compiz, beyond what yum picks up for updates.

I'm assuming I will have to enable another repo for yum or download it direct.
