Cant get compiz to work.

I tried the wiki guides on compiz and composite managers. I have configurated xorg.conf with aticonfig, and it looks like it works good without compiz.

But when trying to run compiz-manager i get this.

[14:33:18 toffyrn ~]$compiz-manager
Checking for Xgl: not present.
No whitelisted driver found
aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity

^C
[14:33:25 toffyrn ~]$

Thought that Xgl was included in the catalyst package.

Anybody know what the problem is??

Bah, I keep forgetting that sudo doesn't come by default!

su - first if need be.

Re: Cant get compiz to work.

you don't really need xgl for compiz.

No whitelisted driver found

sudo vim /usr/bin/compiz-manager
search for WHITELIST and add fglrx, like this:

WHITELIST="nvidia intel ati i810 radeon fglrx"
