Ati kwin Desktop effects

Hey guys,
using HD4330 here in my Dell 1564. i have xf86-video-driver installed and no xorg.conf. The desktop looks great but when I try to activate Desktop effects it says:

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.

In the ATI wiki it says the opensource driver should be enough for compiz/kwin. Do I really need the catalyst-test package?


~ Regards,
sHy

Re: Ati kwin Desktop effects

I think you might have to enable composite in your xorg.conf, so now you have to make an xorg.conf.
