Re: compiz running with fglrx drivers and AIGLX

@Mikko777, Avenger
downgrade xorg-server to version <= 1.3 and start compiz with --indirect-rendering parameter

my experience is, when running compiz, 2d is slow. scrolling a page in firefox for example. also compiz lags often.
i will not use compiz with that driver...

X.org:
extra/xorg-server 1.2.0-5

I had to disable the gconf backend in compiz fusion, because with it enabled window borders where not visible.

I only got to problems with the driver:
-Amdcccle doesn't start
-Video is flickering

Thanks, that worked, but now I have the same problems as you, scrolling in browsers etc is horribly slow. neutral

OK, downgraded, performance went up:

mikko@desktop:~$ glxgears
20429 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4085.637 FPS
20433 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4086.576 FPS
20415 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4082.813 FPS
mikko@desktop:~$ fgl_glxgears
Using GLX_SGIX_pbuffer
4251 frames in 5.0 seconds = 850.200 FPS
4367 frames in 5.0 seconds = 873.400 FPS
4396 frames in 5.0 seconds = 879.200 FPS

compiz kinda works now, weird firefox problem remains and amdcccle still broken. well its getting there smile

Edit: nice 150 fps in compiz when not doing anything...

Re: compiz running with fglrx drivers and AIGLX

Dual screen is working!

Ati Dual-head mode did not work under compiz fusion.
Pairmode on the other hand did work.

Same, but video flickers because of opengl rendering in mplayer...

Does anyone know how to enable xv in atidrivers? I'm guessing it would provide fastest videoplayback and doesnt flicker and is scalable with compiz?

Sadly i've never got xv to work with ati drivers so any help?

Re: compiz running with fglrx drivers and AIGLX

how did you install the new drivers?  what does dmesg | grep fglrx say?  What version of fglrx does /var/log/Xorg.0.log say is loaded?

Does anyone know how to enable xv in atidrivers? I'm guessing it would provide fastest videoplayback and doesnt flicker and is scalable with compiz?

Sadly i've never got xv to work with ati drivers so any help?

Installed it using the ati driver from their website

[twizller]# dmesg | grep fglrx
fglrx: module license 'Proprietary. (C) 2002 - ATI Technologies, Starnberg, GERMANY' taints kernel.
[fglrx] Maximum main memory to use for locked dma buffers: 1413 MBytes.

Re: compiz running with fglrx drivers and AIGLX

ah.  You probably should have just installed the packages from [testing] - using the AMD/ATI installer isn't recommended - your x-server is probably picking up the wrong version of fglrx_dri.

Do a 

sudo updatedb; locate fglrx_dri

and if more than one entry comes up, that's your problem.

If you really want those drivers now, then uninstall the ones you installed with the proprietary driver, enable the [testing] repo, and pacman -S fglrx fglrx-utils.

Re: compiz running with fglrx drivers and AIGLX

[twizller]# updatedb; locate fglrx_dri
/usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/fglrx_dri.so
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/fglrx_dri.so

Will try to uninstall the AMD/ATI proprietary driver and use the testing repo and let you know how it goes.

my Amdcccle does not work too.
The Xv flickering is "normal", just set the video output to X11.
Anyway you can enable xv with:
Option      "TexturedVideo" "true"

but the flickering will remain if you're running compiz.

all in all this driver version is just half baked...

edit:
just saw your post, that you already found the solution wink
and xv is not working anymore without compiz.. i have no idea why
