I've been trying to enable compiz in Centos 5.2 on an HP nc6400 laptop for a wekk or 2, and it's starting to give me a headache. I can see from google searching that this works on other distros, but can't find any good sites to point me in the right direction.
I've downloaded the proprietary ATI driver from ati.amd.com and used aticonfig to set up my xorg.conf (with the fglrx driver option). When I enable desktop effects, I get the famous white screen of doom ... I have a mouse pointer and can spin the cube using ctrl+alt+left mouse, but I can't see anything.
I guess my problem is this:
Code:
glxinfo | grep direct
direct rendering: No
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
But I cannot figure out how to get the direct rendering enabled! Is there anyone out there that has done this, or can point in the right direction?
