[Lazarus] opengl and compiz

[Andrea Mauri]

thanks to all. i have an ati video card that causes me a lot of problems 
with my linux box.
anyway i will disable compiz (i don't like it, i used it just for 
testing my app).
regards,
andrea

Compiz itself works, but opengl is only up to 1.3 version and has bugged compozing (due to kernel mode setting not being in the kernel yet).
