Xorg.config or Xorg.config.fglrx-0?

[John Bird]

Hi
Im running Dapper with KDE 3.5.3 on an Athlon 64 bit box with ATI 9600XT graphics using fglrx driver. When I boot into K Desktop I am given the following error messages :-

Composite Manager Failure-Kdialog

The composite manager failed twice within a minute and is therefore disabled for this session.

Composite Extension not found failure-KDialog<2>

you must use Xorg>6.8 for translucence and shadows to work.
Additionally you need to add a new section to your X Config file
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Enable"
End Section

When the desktop is loaded both translucence and shadows appear to work and I encounter no problems.
Iv checked the version of Xorg and that appears to be >7 so should not be a problem, so I am hopeing that if I edit the Xorg.config file that it will cure the problem but I do not know which to edit as apart from Xorg.config file there is another file, Xorg.config.fglrx.
Thank for any assistance John

I believe that the only one that counts is xorg.conf, but I may be wrong. Look at both files and see what the difference is. If neccesary, add the additional stanza to both files, but back them up first.

HI
no you were right only xorg.config had to be edited.

Thanks John
