Catalyst 8.3: Corruption around cursor when using compiz

[shishir]

Hmm... I typically use AIGLX for compiz/beryl, but I do have Xgl installed on my system (xorg-x11-server-Xgl-0-0.7.20070102git.kwizart.fc7). I tried logging into Gnome with Xgl, and also got the Mesa output from fglrxinfo... Strange. Have you been able to use AIGLX instead of Xgl? AIGLX has been working well for me for the last few driver releases...

In /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AIGLX" "on"
EndSection

...

Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "enable"
EndSection

I did try AIGLX, somehow did not enjy the experience...as compiz does not start on its own, like it does when Xgl is enabled (this might just be a quirk in openSUSE as they were behind Xgl). I can put a script in .kde/Autostart, but it does not feel the same. But I'll give it a spin. Thanks.

Note: I just upgraded to Catalyst 8.5, and it seems the problem is fixed--no more cursor corruption under Compiz.

It also works for me. I will be now able to use compiz
