AMD Catalyst 10.2 For Linux Gets Direct2D

[PsynoKhi0]

Heya,
Does adding

Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "on"

under Section "Device" in xorg.conf, followed by

aticonfig --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf

as root help anyone get composite effects to work?

I always had this option on 'true' while testing 10.2. Compiz worked, kwin didnt.

It worked as a charm.

Thank you again.

No idea, probably conflicts with some other offscreeb thing?

Does kwin work for you?

@jrch2k8 - since you mentioned Crossfire issues, you will be glad to know that the Catalyst 10.4 Linux release notes include the following in the Resolved Issues section:

* Flickering corruption no longer observed while running OpenGL applications with CrossFire enabled
