Thanks very much Alex for this pointer and your summary.  This page is
also very helpful, although I'm a *long* way from fully understanding
this stuff and even assigning names to things -- xgl and glx don't. ;)

    http://dri.sourceforge.net/doc/DRIintro.html

Again, I used the instructions on:

Again, under Gutsy I had a package "xserver-xgl" installed which
I believe allowed me to run Compiz.  I was told with the new
fglrx driver that I no longer needed (or wanted) that package.
But, with the development "ati" driver do I need xserver-xgl
to use Compiz?  Is that why Compiz isn't working?

Thanks,
