This is interesting, because I came across two problems with composite: |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
OpenGL caused a complete crash of e17. I had to remove ~/.e from a console to |
| 29 |
be able to launch it again. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Enabling composite with software worked nicely, *but*: |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
a) I couldn't switch it off ever again. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
and |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
b) Refreshing the desktop became sluggish (as in gkrellms would regularly |
| 38 |
'freeze' and not update). |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
So I decided to switch it off until I try KMS with my ATI video card in case |
| 41 |
it copes better with it. |
| 42 |

Glad you got it working - please let us know of any gotchas in the future - |
| 44 |
you're bound to come across these before some of us do. :-) |
