Hi guys. I wanted Compiz running in my desktop, but I didn't want to use privative drivers. So, after reading these forums a bit, I've got a Radeon X1650.
I've changed the Xorg driver to "ati", and added some other options to xorg.conf file in order to enable diret rendering and friends. Now the desktop seems to be rendered faster, but Compiz doesn't want to work.
I have Fedora 9, so I go to menu > System > Preferences > Visualizacion y comportamiento > Desktop effects, and I click on "Enable Desktop Effects" (that should mean "enable Compiz"). After some seconds of thinking, a response is shown: "Desktop effects could not be enabled"
Probably I'm missing some options in xorg.conf file. Do you know which ones?
