I think he means more specificly how you are actually calling it when you log in...  Do you auto start? What command are you using?  Things like that...

Re: Compiz Fusion Error

Do you use a login manager? If not, can we see your ~/.xinitrc. If you don't have one, can we see your /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc?

@sHyLoCk: compiz is a WM.

urxvtc / wmii / zsh / configs / onebluecat.net

I know, I'm using it too. I wanted to know if he is using it standalone or with something else.
Which kernel you are using? Please read this: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI maybe you will find a possible fix. There has been certain changes with the new kernel, I'm not completely informed as I don't use the Arch kernel. Reading the news might help too.

Re: Compiz Fusion Error

AFAIK that card doesn't have accelerated 3D yet which is required by compiz.

ATM your best option is to use the fglrx/catalyst drivers until r600/r700 3D acceleration is released.

If you don't want to do that, you might want to switch over to xf86-video-ati from xf86-video-radeonhd

Re: Compiz Fusion Error

I'm using kernel 2.6.32-ARCH and I used the ati driver as I saw somewhere that you should only use the radeonhd if you need it's features specifically.

Re: Compiz Fusion Error

That fixed it, but I get horrible flickering for the 3D cube part.
