compositing unavailable to KDE with Radeon HD 4650 and fglrx driver
Hi,
I'm on an AMD64 Hp system (AMD Phenom(tm) 9650 Quad-Core Processor, as
reported by Kinfo). I've switched to an ATI Radeon HD 4650 graphics
card a few days ago. Everything is back to working conditions, except
compositing in KDE. I'm using Debian sid packages for kde and fglrx
(the latter built with module-assistant). System Settings says
"Compositing is not supported on your system. Required X extensions
(XComposite and XDamage) are not available." Switching compositing type
under the "Advanced" tab results in the message: "Failed to activate
desktop effects using the given configuration options. Settings will be
reverted to their previous values. Check your X configuration. You may
also consider changing advanced options, especially changing the
compositing type.
My /etc/X11/xorg.conf has:

Which was produced with aticonfig and the fglrx control center for a
dual-monitor setup. Any help finding a cure appreciated.
