Re: fglrx, kernel 2.6.20, dri and composite problem [SOLVED]

Hi,
I guess it is clear for all, but it was not for me.. One should
completely _remove_ ati proprietary driver, before trying to use the
open source one, since it changes /usr/lib/libGL.so. After removing it
and including:
deb http://debian.beryl-project.org/ etch main
deb-src http://debian.beryl-project.org/ etch main
in my sources.list, and running apt-get update; apt-get install beryl, I
have radeon driver + composite + kernel 2.6.20 + beryl up and running :)
Cheers,
Ivan
