Hi, relatively fresh Arch install.
Running into problems getting compiz to run using fusion-icon or any other method.
I looks like something didn't stick with the ATI driver installation and I'm at a loss for what it is, drivers were installed with pacman -S catalyst.
compiz-check indicates there is an issue:
$ compiz-check
Gathering information about your system...
Distribution: Arch Linux
Desktop environment: GNOME
Graphics chip: ATI Technologies Inc Device 68be
Driver in use: fglrx
Rendering method: None
Checking if it's possible to run Compiz on your system... [SKIP]
Checking for hardware/setup problems... [SKIP]
At least one check had to be skipped:
Error: No rendering method in use (AIGLX, Xgl or Nvidia) Any ideas?

Uhm.. are you sure the kernel module is loaded and the driver is selected in xorg.conf? Also, can you post the output of these:
glxinfo | grep -i openglglxinfo | grep "direct rendering"It is better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt. (Mark Twain)

This is going to be something stupidly simple that I've forgotten to do...
rc.conf:
MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes"

MODULES=(fglrx)xorg.conf as generated by aticonfig:

EndSection

Well, that's because you didn't disable KMS. Add "nomodeset" to your kernel line in grub conf.

Weird... Shot in the dark here, but maybe you have xf86-video-ati installed as well?

I don't have the ATI or radeon open source drivers installed, but I do have the vesa package. That wouldn't case issues, would it?

None of these packages should interfere with catalyst. Well, I'm out of ideas for now. Maybe you should ask in the catalyst thread?

Cheers for the help dcc24, will head over to the Catalyst thread when I get home from work.
