One of the recent Xorg and/or fglrx (from rpmfusion) updates has borked
my 3D: it no longer works.  I logged out, and when I logged back in,
that's when I realized compiz wouldn't start.  I've spent an hour trying
to fix it, but I'm just bumbling around.

These are the errors I'm seeing in the Xorg log:

(EE) AIGLX error: fglrx exports no extensions
(/usr/lib64/dri/fglrx_dri.so: undefined symbol: __driDriverExtensions)
(EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering

I have an ATI HD3850.

What's happened? How do I fix it?  I wish the 3D bits weren't so touchy.

Regards,

Ranbir
