Composition question

Tue Dec 28, 2010 5:35 am
I'm new to this forum, so don't know where to post such questions.

Anyway, I'm runinng Kubuntu with fglrx-ATI drivers installed. The composition is turned off my default and I've to get it running by either disabling functionality checks or 'Alt+Shift+F12' method.
Is there a proper method to do this?

The correct way in this case is to disable Functionality checks.

This is a problem of the fglrx driver that like any other binary blob, does things its own way. You need to keep the functionality check disabled for compositing to work, as bcooksley said.
