[Bug 359839] [NEW] Compiz aborts even though DRI is enabled

[spydouglas]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

glxinfo reports that direct rendering is enabled, and my graphics card
(radeon rv350) is whitelisted, but compiz aborts and falls back to
software rendering with the following output:

SKIP_CHECKS=yes compiz &

What baffles me is that compiz worked fine in 8.10.
