[SOLVED] Cant initiate compiz with KDE desktop

Hi, i installed arch on a new PC, along with KDE.
I installed this packages:

compiz
compiz-fusion

When i run compiz i get:

compiz (core) - Error: Screen 0 on display ":0.0" already has a window manager; try using the --replace option to replace the current window manager.
compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0

So i run compiz --replace and i get:

compiz (core) - Fatal: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing
compiz (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0
compiz (core) - Fatal: NO manageable screens found on display :0.0

Is there anything i can do?
VGA:

01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RC410 [Radeon Xpress 200]

Running with "radeon" driver.

Did you try the two solutions for this error listed in the arch-wiki (compiz_troubleshooting)?

Re: [SOLVED] Cant initiate compiz with KDE desktop

anyway you can still use the "appearance" in systemsettings in kde4 (which are the same as you get in the compiz package)

pls mark the thread as [SOLVED]

You are the one who marks the thread solved, not the mods. Edit your original post and append it to the title.
