Hello. I cannot enable composition effects on my KDE 4.2 on Archlinux x64. It worked on Ubuntu without any problems, but on Arch ive tried with many driver versions (some old from official repository, 9.2 from AUR, 9.4RC1 from TPB), and none of them is working. I have "Direct rendering: Yes" in glxinfo.

Here s my xorg.conf:
# File generated by xorgconfig.
Section "Module"

# This loads the DBE extension module.

Load "dbe" # Double buffer extension
SubSection "extmod"
Option "omit xfree86-dga" # don't initialise the DGA extension
EndSubSection

Load "freetype"


Load "glx"
Load "dri"
Load "GLcore"

I run arch, and composite under kde4 works fine. I don't have access to my xorg.conf right now, but I'll modify yours. Let me know if it works, if it doesn't I'll post mine.

Unfortunately it dont work. Ive tryied almost all xorg.conf combinations i could think of, and also tried to use my (working) xorg.conf from Ubuntu, but it does nothing.

Do you have testing repository enabled? I think some weeks ago I was getting some error when I enabled composite... I have disabled testing repo and done upgrades with core, extra, and community. I enabled kwin4 composite effects when I upgraded to 9.4 RC1 and its running fine.

EDIT: errr not compiz... KWIN4..

Im not using compiz, only KDE4 builtin composition effects. Ive only downloaded compiz-check trying to debug why i cannot enable composition in kwin.
When im trying to enable it in systemsettings, i get:

Kwin with composite works so fine here. That output from kwin doesn't raise any alarms. This is weird indeed, give my Xorg.conf a try, make sure ur user is member of "video" group...

Unless you are truly having issues with your videoram and that has been proven to solve your issues, don't bother. All the other options won't help.

Ive tried almost all xorg config changes ive could think of, also any combinations for FGLRX options, and lack of them. "VideoRAM" resolves strange problem with unaccepting modelines with higher vrefreshes, and "AccelMethod" "XAA" speedups KDE4.
