Bug Description

Binary package hint: xserver-xgl

Having upgraded from Gutsy to Hardy, on a Thinkpad T60, which was previous running compiz just fine...

XGL fails to load, showing the attached .xsession-errors content. Note, it seems to be searching for nvidea, but I am running ATI (Thinkpad T60).

Attempting to log back in gets me into X, but without XGL or compiz - metacity takes over.

I have seen that glxinfo is segfaulting (as does fglrxinfo):

$ export LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose
$ glxinfo
name of display: :0.0
libGL: XF86DRIGetClientDriverName: 8.47.3 fglrx (screen 0)
libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I will certainly provide more information if that will help.

I tried purging the xorg-server-fglrx package, but it couldn't remove /etc/ati.
First, I removed the contents of /etc/ati, then I removed the following from the end of /etc/profile:

 /etc/ati/ati-fglrx.sh # Do not modify - set by ATI FGLRX

And, with that, I have XGL back, and I am happy :-)

Assuming I can't work out how to, you can close this bug.
