no kde desktop effects with radeonhd

hej,
i have a ati x1250 onboard card, the kde desctop effects worked very well with the catalyst 8.8 (?) driver. since catalyst 9.3 my card isn't supported, so i use the radonhd driver. but with them i can't activate the desktop effects.

so, what can i do now? in AUR is also still only the newes catalyst drivers (9.4)

Re: no kde desktop effects with radeonhd

sorry, I'm no ATIst, but have you tried XRender instead of OpenGL?

Re: no kde desktop effects with radeonhd

yes, i tried also this. but alswas the same error:

failed to activat desktop effects using given configuration options. settings will be reverted to their previous values.

check your x configuration. you may also consider changing advanced options, especially changing the compositing type.a

its so bad, my smal netbook supports desktop effects, but my big desktop doesn't

Re: no kde desktop effects with radeonhd

xf86-video-radeonhd does not support 3D yet, so you can not use Compiz, kWin etc.

Re: no kde desktop effects with radeonhd

How about the -ati driver instead of -radeonhd?
