[SOLVED] Opengl composite error radeon

Hello.

I'm using Chakra Linux (http://chakra-project.org), but when i try to enable composite with OpenGL, it shows me this error:

Failed to activate desktop effects using the 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.

It works fine with XRender.

Here is my xorg.conf:

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier     "X.org Configured"
    Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
EndSection

Section "Files"

EndSection

    EndSubSection
    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport   0 0
        Depth     24
    EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Extensions"
    Option "Composite" "Enable"
    Option "RENDER" "Enable"
EndSection

Section "DRI"
        Group  "video"
        Mode   0666
EndSection
 
Section "ServerFlags"
    Option "AIGLX" "false"
EndSection

When i run: lspci | grep Radeon, it gives me:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon HD 3400 Series

Re: [SOLVED] Opengl composite error radeon

you have to install either the official catalyst drivers or the git versions of all the free driver stuff and the experimental r6xx-r7xx-3d drm

the normal free drivers do not contain opengl 3d support.
