Gettting xcompmgr working with the xorg-fglrx driver for ATI cards

[ulrich steffens]

hi,
as far as i know you wont have any luck cause the fglrx-driver doesn't
support damage and therefore no composite.
i tried this myself a while ago and found only people asking the same
question. so my understanding of this is that the fglrx doesnt support
this extension(s). and while speaking of ati, this doesnt surprises me
at all...
