[desktop-discuss] ATI Radeon support for compiz easy install bundle

[minskey guo]

Hi, Mark,

I just installed a snv_75 from scratch, and add

Option "BusType" "PCI"

to ATI device section of xorg.conf. And then, I installed compzi via 
Erwann's
compiz bundle. It works.


If you cannot set up compiz on F3400, can you send me xorg.conf,
/var/log/Xorg.0.log, /var/dt/Xerror if exists.
