    I finally get Xv to work. Unfortunately, desktop effects in KDE4 still dont work (i have DRI enabled in xorg.conf)
    KDE has the ability to enable desktop effects using XRender (which is supported via EXA) rather than OpenGL (which is not supported yet). Maybe give that a try ?

      I heard it only does a limited set of the actual effects. It should give compositing though.

        Unfortunately i cannot also enable compositing via Xrender.
        When i run systemsettings via konsole, i get warning when im entering compositing settings:
        Code:
        unknown chip id 0x9589, can't guess.

          Try installing xf86-video-ati-git. Maybe your card was already added.

              That's to be expected, it doesn't have a Mesa driver yet. Ignore that, please.

                  But unfortunately desktop effects still cannot be enabled. This time without even warning.
                  Please tell my what information should i provide.

                    Were you able to go into the "Advanced" screen and select XRender ?

                    I think the sequence is "click on Enable Effects => click on Advanced => choose XRender" or something like that...

                    EDIT - found some instructions that might help :

                      When compiling mesa, you can specify r600

                      But, the package that I get sticks r600 in /usr/lib/dri. So you can put a link to /usr/lib/dri in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri.

                      But then I still get dri disabled. I imagine the software is just not ready yet or I'm goofing it up. This for a HD3200. Your results may differ.
