Catalyst and KDE Compositing Problem

Hi,
I'm new to Arch and just installed it using the chakra-livecd.

I've had some issues with fglrx, but after installing the newest version from kensais repo + the patched xorg-server from AUR it works.

Dmesg gets spammed with this error:

[fglrx:firegl_find_any_map] *ERROR* Invalid map handle!<3>[fglrx:drm_vm_close] *ERROR* map not found -> inconsistent kernel data!!! vma_start:0x7fa230d2b000,handle:0xe7532000

I've stopped getting them logged with the help of this post: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 25#p571625

Is there any way to get those errors out of dmesg, or to completly fix them?

As for my KDE problem:
I only have the thumbnails in Cover Switch.
Present Windows, Taskbar, and the Desktop Grid don't show any thumbnails (black/grey boxes).

thanks for your time

Re: Catalyst and KDE Compositing Problem

Just checked the output of "kwin --replace"

Another Error-Spam \o/

kwin(2779) KWin::checkGLError: GL error ( PostPaint ): 0x "500"

/edit: Hooray, renaming ~/.kde4/share/config/kwinrc and restartin kwin fixed my KDE problem.

/edit2: Just downgraded to 2.6.28, modified catalyst from AUR (dependencies to 2.6.28 and removing .29 Patch), and my dmesg is clear \o/

So far I had to modify the PKGBUILD for my X-Fi (PCIe Versions need patching, i guess i should drop a comment at the ctxfi package) and catalyst. I expected this to be quite hard for me, but using yaourt and reading the PKGBUILDS was enough.
