Hi KoT, thanks for your quick reply!

With debug turned on, I have...

glxinfo:
http://pastebin.com/FsUS0N1B

glxgears:
http://pastebin.com/QuiyqkgA

compiz-manager (yup, there's a seg fault there; is that from libGL? Did you have to strace or somesuch?):
http://pastebin.com/piGya6Rc

Additionally, I've been using the compiz-check bash script (available from a quick google), which, to no surprise, spits out:

At least one check had to be skipped:

Urge to kill...rising...

well, it looks to me - like you're not having the same problem like I do ...

what does dmesg | grep segfault say ?

you tried running kde 4.4 and kwin with compositing if that works ? if yes it might be a problem specific to compiz :idea:

[ 2928.828951] compiz[2614]: segfault at 7f72bdf8ac50 ip 00007f72c46d1dae sp 00007ffff8cf5ef8 error 7 in libGL.so.1.2[7f72c4677000+a2000]


So, possible the same problem as yours?

To be honest, this is my first foray into the land of gentoo-as-a-desktop (although I've run a gentoo server for a long while now, and have used Ubuntu as a desktop for a few years), so I'm a litle unsure on the X side of things.

However, poking through the compiz-check script shows that it refers to xvinfo to determine whether or not AIGLX is enabled (basically by grepping through xvinfo's output for "AIGLX enabled\|AIGLX disabled"). Since I can't find any mention of AIGLX in xvinfo's output, wouldn't that indicate a problem on the part of X or Catalyst?

for me indirect-rendering was selected by default and couldn't be unset, compiz however still kept on crashing

that's frustrating :(

hedmo,

I don't use an organized overlay. It's just my local private overlay, as described here.

Good Luck..

I have added ati-drivers 10.5 on my overlay(ati-drivers-10.5-r1!

I have took the gentoo one and removed the xorg-server-1.8 block so you can use the xorg-server 1.8.1-r1 from my overlay too!

you need to change RELEASE_DATE="2010-08-20" to the correct date (I don't know if that's the date in the file)

also AC_PREREQ(2.57) might have changed, too

this patch is based on an older one to get catalyst with 1.8 to work (which only supported 1.7*)

edit:

it most probably will NOT work:
