Its late, im tired, im cutting to the point
Gnome is the Desktop Environment, I've got catalyst installed and running perfectly, direct rendering is reporting its working fine. I went to install compiz-fusion, its installed fine. Did compiz-check, and it says:
Gathering information about your system...
Distribution: Arch Linux
Desktop environment: GNOME
Graphics chip: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon HD 3200 Graphics
Driver in use: fglrx
Rendering method: None
Checking if it's possible to run Compiz on your system... [SKIP]
Checking for hardware/setup problems... [SKIP]
At least one check had to be skipped:
Error: No rendering method in use (AIGLX, Xgl or Nvidia)
My xorg conf: (its a standard xorg conf that was done with Xorg -configure, and then later aticonfig --initial. Thats it, no custom edits except for resolution)

not sure what else I could post, I was under the understanding that fglrx/catalyst enabled compositing and composite effects by default, so I can't figure out why the rendering is failing.
Thanks in advance guys, you've all be extremely helpful in the past.
Edit: Under Device, past the long list of commented lines. Theres a line that says to load the radeon driver? o.0 wtf?

It doesn't matter how much training you have. A broken rib is still a broken rib.

There are two lines. One with ""radeon", one with "fglrx". Obviously, you have to "out comment" (is that the right word?) the line with "radeon".

Lol, its "comment out"
Back on topic, try following instructions from this wiki article:

Thanks for the input Chem, I did comment it out, but that made zero difference. I ran glxgears just to see (out of curiousity) if there was a diff, and I got about the same markers are always.So Im thinking it was just ignoring that Driver "radeon" line.
Schen, I've already been through that wiki. And it says, and I quote
fglrx/Catalyst driver
ATI's proprietary fglrx driver enables compositing by default. If for some reason you would like to manually disable compositing, you can do so by adding this to /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection
So we're still back to my original question -- why is catalyst not rendering? Is it a xorg.conf issue? Bug in catalyst? Missing package?

Edit: remade my xorg.conf, humoring schen by attempting to enable AIGLX as it described for the open source drivers, compiz-check still says its failing on AIGLX, and XGL.

compiz-check is at the moment unmaintained and out-of-date, it shows partly wrong results (e.g. rendering is fine for me, but fails in the check).
try to start compiz, enable window decoration and other essential features in ccsm and see what happens.
