On "eselect opengl set xorg-x11" it is working fine but little slow 
Any idea  |

If you're using ati you should disable aiglx and use xgl.
Cheers,

How about "emerge --info"? Did you actually install xgl?

This only applies to the proprietary ati drivers, not to the open source radeon driver Frogzz is using, AIGLX should work fine with those. His glxinfo output shows that dri is not working which, obvously, is the prerequisite for any 3D desktop acceleration.
| Code: | | (EE) RADEON(0): [dri] RADEONDRIGetVersion failed to open the DRM |
This looks to be the problem; can you check if the kernel module loaded correctly? |

Check the output of lsmod; the drm module is called "radeon" if I remember correctly. If it is present, check dmesg for any messages related to loading the module, check if a device node has been created in /dev/dri and see if there is anything in /proc/dri (it should contain at least one subdirectory with internal information from the module).
If it isn't, try to modprobe it manually and see if it loads OK. If there are any errors of the type "... symbol ... not found" or if the module isn't itself can't be found, then something is wrong with your kernel installation. |

You have a drm module loaded, but it is the wrong one - your xorg.conf is configured for the opensource radeon driver, but you have the proprietary fglrx module loaded, which is a part of the closed-source driver. You either must configure your xorg.conf for using the closed-source driver (do aticonfig --initial, but backup your xorg.conf first) or remove the fglrx module (rmmod fglrx) and then try again (restart X and see if it works; if not, load the radeon module via "modprobe radeon" beforehand).
The closed-source driver does provide better 3D performance; however, 2D performance is worse when compared to the opens-source driver, it suffers from a number of potentially serious bugs and does not provide aiglx, so you indeed have to install xgl to get compiz or beryl if you want to take this route. The open-source driver gives significantly worse 3D performance, but supports aiglx and generally causes less problems, so I would advise to use this one. In this case, you can unmerge the propietary drivers and so prevent the fglrx module from loading.

| So if I undersant correctly the close driver is x11-drivers/ati-drivers from portage and open is from kernel, yes? If I'm right I must switch "eselect opengl set xorg-x11" an "emerge -C ati-drivers" or am I wrong? |

Yep, essentially you're right. The ebuild for the closed-source fglrx driver is xorg-drivers/ati-drivers. All dri drivers consist of a kernel module that handles memory management (if I'm correct) - this is the drm part - and a X11 module which contains the driver core. All dri capable drivers I know of can work without the drm kernel module loaded but depend on it for 3D acceleration, so no kernel module loaded means no 3D acceleration.
So, if you want to use the opensource driver supplied with xorg (x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati), you can safely do "emerge -C ati-drivers". You indeed then have to make sure via eselect that you have choosen the correct opengl implementation (that's xorg-x11 then). The other thing that gives you trouble at the moment is the radeon kernel module not being loaded at X11 startup, but I suppose this is because the fglrx module is already loaded and claiming the hardware (I'm not sure though why that happens, I was under the impression that it didn't get automatically loaded by udev but only on X11 startup, but I may be wrong on that). |

Ok, on the open driver everything is working but beryl is little slow, especialy when firefox is runing. Now I'm trying to get the close one to work ;> and I'm almost there. I installed the XGL because AIXGL is not suported by close driver and now I'm stuck with part of the screen in small resolution (640x480), only lef top corner of the desktop and I can't see other part of it :/
Any idea?
=================
Ok, I solved this one by adding:
| Code: | HorizSync 31.5 - 64.3
VertRefresh 50.0 - 70.0 |
to xorg.conf
Now I have XGL up and runnign but no direct rendering :/
beryl runs but any effect use 90% of CPU
