Xpress1100 + Compiz = headache

[Fusion]

Hey gang,

I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to get Compiz running with an ATI Xpress1100. I tell the Compiz icon to reload the Window Manager and I get dumped back to the GDM login screen. I have the radeon driver 1:69-0-1 on Debian Squeeze. Should I be using radeonhd? Please pardon my ignorance, but I do not know which log file has the troubleshooting information. The GLX, XGL, AIGLX stuff has me confused. I apologize for the information overload below. At this point I need to find out where it will tell me what is failing. Any help would be greatly appreciate. Thanks.

This is my glxinfo output:

You're running fairly old driver code (not ancient, but 6-12 months old) so it wouldn't hurt to pick up something newer for radeon, drm and mesa. If you could use pastebin to show your xorg log and dmesg output there might be some useful info there.

Using the radeon driver is correct; radeonhd doesn't support your GPU.

[Fusion]

Thanks for the suggestions bridgman. Unfortunately the Debian maintainers are rather conservative. I am using the "testing" version which is still behind the current versions. My pastebin for the Xorg log is http://pastebin.com/m1859c042

[damentz]

Xorg 7.4, Xserver 1.6, Mesa3D 7.4, and xserver-xorg-video-radeon 6.12.2 are in Debian Sid as of now.

[agd5f]

compiz did not work on your IGP chip until mesa 7.2 due to a bug in the 3D driver.

[aaaantoine]

What agd5f said.

It looks like you're using Mesa 7.0.4.

[Kano]

Is there a small patch to get support?

[agd5f]

This was the patch to fix compiz on rs4xx/rs6xx chips:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/commit/?id=66a5562ce2906fbf5b96d1cee18f9a31a78c4360

[Kano]

That's a small patch, but in Mesa 7.0.3 I only find the first file but not the r300_swtcl.c. Anything else missing maybe?
