ATIx1950+RaedonHD+KDE 4.2/4.3b+ compositing

[Rahux]

Hi Adam,

The output is:
OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer

Which I suppose explains the lack of GL/compositing but I don't quite understand why it's gone to software by default.

Thanks for your help.

Hi there. The text was too big to paste in so I published it here:

Thanks again Adam.

(II) RADEONHD(0): Direct rendering turned off by default. Use Option "DRI" to enable.

[Rahux]

Apologies but where am I enabling that option? In /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? If so , where abouts?

Here perhaps?

Section "Device"
  BoardName    "Radeon X1950"
  Driver       "radeonhd"
  Identifier   "Device[0]"
  Option       "monitor-DVI-I_1/digital" "Monitor[0]"
  VendorName   "ATI"
EndSection

Or here?

Section "DRI"
    Group      "video"
    Mode       0660
EndSection

Anywhere in the Device section.
