Rendering method: None? xgl in backtrack 4 (built off kubuntu 8.10) not working.
hey all. i am running backtrack 4 (using kde 3.5.10) on my laptop with an ATI mobility radeon HD 4650 graphics card. i installed the proprietary drivers from the ati site, just as i always do in any linux installation. then i installed xgl, and all of the compiz packages, including compiz-kde, but for some reason, my system won't enable xgl rendering. every time i run either "compiz --replace" or "fusion-icon" in the terminal, i lose the borders of my windows, and every thing i've tried so far does not work. can someone please help me?

On recent versions of fglrx, Xgl isn't needed. In fact, I'm pretty sure Xgl wasn't even available in Kubuntu 8.10. Please show us the full output of the 'compiz --replace &' command.

OK, so the problem isn't that Xgl isn't found. The problem is that compiz is segfaulting. Unfortunately, I'm not sure I can be any help here. After all, we are talking about a distribution that is two years old. If you really wanted to debug this, you could try installing the debug versions of compiz, running the binary via gdb and getting a backtrace. However, most bug reports would probably be closed with the suggestion of upgrading to a recent version of compiz.
for kde3, and intsalled the kde3 compiz packages from there. now i have window borders, but im not sure if it is running correctly. here is my new results for compiz --replace.
Code:
compiz --replace

does that look right? i think i still need a renderer, at least that's what compiz-check says:
