    my var log is too long I'm afraid... if its desperate that you need it I'll find a way to get it online.

    There is a conflict somewhere but I cant work it out!

        Also try to create new user so you get clean home directory which might work better. Also you sohuld check that your user is in "video" group.

          Ignore my previous few posts, I included the wrong copy and pastes. I have ati driver working again but normal and extra compiz are verrryyy slow. Not a plugin issue as normal effects dont work.

          glxinfo:

          http://rafb.net/p/XPOiPN31.html

          plain xorg.conf as before

          compiz:

          var log:

          anything else you need let me know. Everything seems to initialise just performance with desktop effects is terrible.

            Trying again with indirect rendering:

            Indirect rendering is a lot slower that direct rendering so something bad is going here ...

              Agreed. Its not showing direct rendering but glxinfo is.

              Any ideas?

                I think something is wrong about the way compiz is configured. It should be detecting the texture_from_pixmap extension and not falling back to indirect rendering. Do other 3d applications work fine?

                  I know this sounds like a stupid question buts whats a 3D application I can use to test?

                  I dont think its a compiz setting, as the 'normal' desktop effects, in built by ubuntu, also work very slow.

                    xmoto, neverball, neverputt etc are small download size but are using some 3D features so that software rendering runs around 1fps.

                      Texture from pixmap is only available in an indirect context with dri1. It will still be hw accelerated however.
