Dcompmgr won't work with opengl

Hi,
I'm trying to use a opengl compositor to get rid of the window tearing on my amd video card. For some reason it worked fine with my nvidia card.
So yeah I have a r9 270x and I'm using openbox and the open source ati driver but when I try to use

 dcompmgr --gl 

my screen flashes black and the color of my root window(no other windows are visible) about every second or when I move my mouse it flashes more rapidly. The cursor is still visible though. And the output of dcompmgr --gl to the terminal is:

managing screen 0
running
no GL visual for depth 24
no GL visual for depth 24
no GL visual for depth 24
no GL visual for depth 24
no GL visual for depth 24

I have the

mesa mesa-libgl lib32-mesa lib32-mesa-libgl ati-dri lib32-ati-dri

packages installed so I don't know what's wrong. I'm not getting any errors when comping dcompmgr either.
