you need also to enable damage and render extension in the extensions |
| 20 |
section. here's what |
| 21 |
ity should look like: |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Section "Extensions" |
| 24 |
Option "DAMAGE" "true" |
| 25 |
Option "RENDER" "true" |
| 26 |
Option "Composite" "Enable" |
| 27 |
EndSection |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
you'll also need to enable texturedrender in your device section to |
| 31 |
enable the Xv. i've been not |
| 32 |
using fglrx for some months now (the xf86-video-ati is quite enough |
| 33 |
for my needs) and i don't |
| 34 |
remember all the hacks that are available for fglrx driver. look at |
| 35 |
the phoronix forums for more |
| 36 |
detailed configuration infos about fglrx. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
by the way, what ati board do you posses?! maybe the xf86-video-ati is |
| 39 |
better than fglrx for |
| 40 |
your needs (it has xv, exa and opengl acceleration for boards till r500). |
