Compiz Fusion - Startxgl command opens X but freezes...

As the message says, when executing the startxgl command (with various options tried) it gets as far as X opening with a clock/loading cursor and hangs.  I have read on various other posts that if you let the system sit for a minute or two it will come around, but alas this doesn't work either.

I found this post here, http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=26037 but disabling "Composite" in Xorg seems to have no effect.  However, I'm having the same issue as these folks.

My system is a Dell Inspiron E1705, with an ATI X1400, using the proprietary fglrx driver (Catalyst).

The fglrx driver seems to be working properly, as I have 3-D acceleration.

Here's some information that may be pertinent:

fglrxinfo output:

display: :0.0  screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: ATI Mobility Radeon X1400
OpenGL version string: 2.1.7059 Release

result of the "startxgl" command issued at prompt (before loading X):

I'd really hate to be outdone by Ubuntu on this one (Compiz-Fusion and XGL worked fine on it)!

Re: Compiz Fusion - Startxgl command opens X but freezes...

So I take it from the end of your message on that other post that I need to compile XGL from the AUR?
