    [SOLVED]Need help - cant get Compiz-Fusion running on a new installation w AIXGL

    Now that ATI propriety drivers support support AIXGL for my Ati Radeon mobility x1300 I decided to do a fresh install of Kubuntu to check em out.

    I install the lastest version of fglrx without any problems using the help of this guide: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubu...allation_Guide

    Then installed compiz-fusion and corrected the whitelist and blacklist as specified in the guide.

    however when i try 'compiz --replace' nothing happens. I'm completely lost at this stage.

    from the console fglrxinfo displays:

    Code:
    hitsuji@XXXXXXXX:~$ fglrxinfo
    display: :0.0 screen: 0
    OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
    OpenGL renderer string: ATI Mobility Radeon X1300
    OpenGL version string: 2.1.7170 Release
    glxinfo displays:

    Code:
    hitsuji@XXXXXXXX:~$ glxinfo | grep "direct rendering"
    direct rendering: Yes
    and my xorg.conf contains:

    Code:
    Section "ServerLayout"
    
    # Uncomment if you have a wacom tablet

    	SubSection "Display"
    		Viewport  0 0
    		Depth   24
    	EndSubSection
    EndSection
    I'm presuming my problem is one of two things: incorrectly setup xorg.conf for my hardware or not actually have AIXGL enabled (which I cant figure out if I have it enabled or not).

    Thanks in advance -Hitsuji

    Did you open a console and type just:
    Code:
    compiz
