[ltp] Xgl and Compiz on the T43?

[Britt Selvitelle]

Hey Michele!

No luck yet. I've not got /usr/share/fglrx/diversions/libGL.so.1.2 as
mentioned in that first link. This may have to do with me trying to
build ATI drivers by hand originally. I did try installing the Mesa
libraries from http://battlehorse.homelinux.net/w/Wiki.jsp?page=3DXgl to
no avail.

With the Feb7 batch, I just get a black screen, and X doesn't start
properly with the Feb25 debs.

If I can find some time I may try a clean install of Dapper sometime
soon if I can find the time, unless you have anymore recommendations.

Thanks!
Britt
