Debian etch vs Composite and DRI

Hello!

I have some problems with my VGA stuff under Debian. I get the following message in xorg.log:

Code:

(==) AIGLX enabled

(EE) AIGLX error: dlsym for __driCreateNewScreen_20050727 failed (/usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so: undefined symbol: __driCreateNewScreen_20050727)

(EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering

The strange thing is, that the complete 3D acceleration engine works. The problem comes when I try to enable the composite extension in order to get some translucency. Then it falls back to the Mesa software renderer. And of course, for ex. compiz needs that composite... (errors are like "screen 0 is not DRI capable" etc.)

I tried to install XGL as well, but that gave much more errors.

My specs: Asus P5LD2, pentium D 3.4 dualcore, 2GB RAM, Radeon X1600pro vga, OS: Debian Etch 4.0, Xorg 7.1 (everything up to date, including the Radeon driver).

X config files can be found here:
invitel.hu/verdelyi/xconfig.tar.bz2
(put http:// there if necessary, the forum engine did not allow me to send urls)

Thanks in advance

Did you try commenting out the "Load dri" line in your xorg.conf to clear this error ?

It does not seem to work... and even 3D accel breaks.

Code:

(==) AIGLX enabled

(EE) AIGLX: DRI module not loaded

Was curious, the nVidia driver provides it's own dri and that standard module must be commented out when using their proprietary drivers..

I guess ati is a bit different.

aiglx will not work with fglrx anyway, so you may as well disable it in your xorg.conf

If I disable it with the following code

Code:

Section "ServerFlags"

        Option  "AIGLX" "off"

EndSection

I don't get the dri error message, but the composite extension still reverts to software Mesa... without composite, it works, but I can't get translucency in any ways. :confused:
