All -

I've got an AMD 64 X2 system with a KN8 SLI motherboard. Since I was not really interested in shelling out the bucks for a PCI Express video card at the time I got the mobo, I am using a PCI ATI Radeon 7000/VE video card.

Unfortunately, I can't get compiz to work. Every time I try to run desktop-effects, I get the following:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# desktop-effects
gnome-window-decorator: Screen 0 on display ":0.0" already has a decoration manager; try using the --replace option to replace the current decoration manager.
compiz: No GLXFBConfig for default depth, this isn't going to work.
compiz: Failed to manage screen: 0
compiz: No managable screens found on display :0.0

I've seen some FC6 threads about enabling DRI and such.  I've added:

        Option      "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
        Option  "DisableGLXRootClipping" "True"

to the "Device" section of xorg.conf, and I've added:

Section "DRI"
        Group        0
        Mode         0666
EndSection

to xorg.conf.  Nothing has worked.

Does anyone know if I can get compiz to work with this video card at all? It seems to be a supported configuration according to what I've seen and read, and there is a video on YouTube showing Ubuntu running compiz on this video card (although I am not sure if it is PCI or AGP or if that matters).

Thanks,
Thomas
