[Solved] No rendering method in use - how to fix that?

[Socratea]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to get Compiz 3d desktop to run on my system. It wont, so I decided to run Compiz-Check

Code:

Gathering information about your system...

 Distribution:          MandrivaLinux
 Desktop environment:   KDE4
 Graphics chip:         ATI Technologies Inc RV730 PRO [Radeon HD 4650]
 Driver in use:         fglrx
 Rendering method:      None

Checking if it's possible to run Compiz on your system...  [SKIP]

 Checking for hardware/setup problems...           [SKIP]

At least one check had to be skipped:
 Error: No rendering method in use (AIGLX, Xgl or Nvidia)

It return this error: No rendering method in use (AIGLX, Xgl or Nvidia)

If possible..   then how can I put these in use?


Many Thanks,

That is the same driver that is in our repository. The only difference is with dkms, anytime you install a new kernel the drivers get rebuilt for the new kernel at first boot. Your solution will require you to un-install and rerun their ati installer again everytime you change kernels.

All you needed to do is check the box Enable Translucency when enabling the fglrx driver.

Oke thanks! Will use this method in future.
