How do you get compiz working with the ATI fglrx 9.6 driver?

I have Ubuntu 8.10, and I'm trying to get compiz to start. It complains that Xgl, texture_from_pixmap and "Composite extension" are all not present.

"It might not work. You may need to upgrade to 9.04 and not use fglrx

My experience has been the other way, where 8.10 doing what I wanted, but 9.04 wasn't (specifically, running Boxee on a 3 year old laptop with an ATI graphics card). But then, ""they"" fixed it, and Boxee now magically runs on my 9.04."
