I am posting my xorg.conf. I am wondering if there is anything I can tweak in here to make Compiz-Fusion run faster. I know it's a mess, I'm going to take care of that. Thanks for any help!

Are you sure the right driver module is loaded, because maybe this is confusing xorg:
Code:
Section "Monitor"
   Identifier   "aticonfig-Monitor[0]"
   Option       "VendorName" "ATI Proprietary Driver"
   Option       "ModelName" "Generic Autodetecting Monitor"
   Option       "DPMS" "true"
EndSection

Section "Device"

   Identifier  "Standard VGA"
   Driver      "vga"
   VendorName  "Unknown"
   BoardName   "Unknown"
EndSection

Section "Device"

    #VideoRam    131072
    # Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
   Identifier  "ATI Mobility Radeon X600"
   Driver      "radeon"
EndSection

Looks like he might try to load 2 devices. Is the radeon driver installed right and loaded?

I think the fglrx driver is loaded. The fglrx driver is in the aticonfig-device[0] which is loaded in aticonfig-screen[0]. It also makes me wonder if I am loading xgl and compiz correctly. I saw about 5 different ways to do it online but neither of them very clear in what I was doing. Can someone help me make sure I am doing that correctly too? I am coming back to Gentoo after using Debian for a while. The only time I've used Compiz was on Debian so I'm not sure how to do this stuff manually. I am using the xeffects overlay for my sources. I followed the gentoo wiki for Xgl as well as the gentoo-xeffects wiki so something I did may be conflicting.

and

Also, I did an: eselect opengl set ati
I don't know if I should have done that or xorg-x11. But it's still slow.
As a regular user:
