scarecrow Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Which ATi driver you are using? The proprietary one supports compiz/beryl only via XGL, AIGLX won't work. You may have better luck removing everything fglrx related (that is- the proprietary driver) and using the xorg driver instead ( radeon ).

scarecrow Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 (edited) Also, the proprietary driver is included in the non-free Mandriva repos, so no need to download anything from ATi. Just read in the wiki how to enable the "non-free" repos and then urpmi dkms-fglrx Still, I'd rather try the radeon driver first...
