raul_nds: Which module is X trying to load - can you find the version in /var/log/Xorg.0.log please?
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep fglrx
returns a
(II) LoadModule: "fglrx"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//fglrx_drv.so
(II) Module fglrx: vendor='FireGL - ATI Technologies Inc."
(II) UnloadModule: "fglrx"

raul_nds: I suspect xorg-server is trying to load an older version of the fglrx module. It should say what version it's trying to load somewhere around the lines you just posted - if you can't find it, then pastebin your entire Xorg.0.log (at pastebin.archlinux.org) and I'll see what I can find myself.

Cerebral:
You are right! I swear I did a pacman -Sy fglrx. however i still had the 8.40 version installed. I am now grabbing the 8.42 version. I'll let you know when it's working

Well, I guess the driver itself is working, but no Compiz for me. GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing
Arghhhh

+1 Works for me ish, strange white borders around things though
happens to me too when using GTK window decorators.
try using the emerald decorators, that fixes it here.

you added the Composite section to your xorg.conf ?
also maybe try
grep AIGLX /var/log/Xorg.0.log
and
grep Compo /var/log/Xorg.0.log

@raul_nds, compiz + fglrx works only if AIGLX and COMPOSITE are enabled in xorg.conf and with xorg-server <= 1.3.
We can't stop here! This is bat country!!

Yeap done thanks
Actually my performance dropped, so maybe this wasn't worth it
EDIT: I changed accel from EXA to XAA and my performance has improved. Oh well...
Just in case, I ran into some troubles downgrading xorg.
First I used the official downgrade method and X wouldn't start. After that I just commented out testing in pacman.conf and reinstalled xorg-server. Still nothing. Turns out I had to install xf86-input-keyboard and xf86-input-mouse.
I have no idea how it was working before, if I didn't have this packages installed.

alright this is what I am getting:
I "enabled" AIGLX & Composite in xorg.conf after installing fglrx 8.42.3 cause I had them disabled for some reason. Now when I start X, the log file does say
(==) AIGLX enabled
and
(II) AIGLX: Loaded and initialized /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/fglrx_dri.so
I get a bunch of (WW) AIGLX: 3D driver claims to not support visual ***** about 75 times later on.
When I try to start compiz I get GLX texture from pixmap missing .. if I try to load with by preloading the MESA libraries, I get the same problem.
Odd thing is I have noticez zero performance difference between compiz in XGL from either drivers. glxgears and fgl_glxgears and a bit faster under "normal X" (or is that aiglx?..) .. odd thing is under fglrx 8.40 i get EXTREME performance from glxgears under XGL even though the display actually looks quite sluggish .. it reports like 20% more fps ..... go figure
i heard all this glx from pixmap might be a compiz issue though ..
