I don't do unfreedomware, and have an issue with NVidia not providing |
| 9 |
even programming interface information to the community, so I refuse to |
| 10 |
buy NVidia video. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
However, I got it working with an ATI Radeon 9200 SE and the xorg native |
| 13 |
drivers the other day. It's /nice/ in KDE. That was running the |
| 14 |
xorg-x11-6.8.99.15 6.9/7.0 snapshot build, with unified framebuffer on a |
| 15 |
dual 2048x1736 monitor layout. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Composite crashes with Xinerama enabled and dual framebuffers instead of |
| 18 |
the single unified framebuffer, thru 6.8.99.13. The .14 and .15 |
| 19 |
snapshots won't xinerama correctly even without composite, and I decided I |
| 20 |
liked the separate framebuffers with xinerama (I like being able to |
| 21 |
switch the resolution on one monitor without having to worry about the |
| 22 |
other one as well), so I switched back to .13, without composite, of |
| 23 |
course, since it crashes in xinerama mode. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Still, I was able to play with it enough to get a feel for why everybody |
| 26 |
is going so crazy over composite, and what it can do. Once it goes fully |
| 27 |
stable, it'll definitely support some really nice eye candy. It's really |
| 28 |
cool when it works. |
