Hello. I have been experimenting with xcomposite in xorg, to enable |
| 2 |
transparency and other effects. |
| 3 |
I added this to xorg.conf: |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
Section "Extensions" |
| 6 |
Option "Composite" "Enable" |
| 7 |
EndSection |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
and this under the Device section: |
| 10 |
Option "RenderAccel" "true" |
| 11 |
Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true" |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Things are working fine. I can now call on xcompmgr and transset to enable |
| 14 |
transparency on windows. However, things are incredibly slow. Only effect |
| 15 |
that doesn't seem to cause a slowdown are the shadows and menu fading. All |
| 16 |
the rest, pretty slow. |
| 17 |
I'm running gnome 2.12 (with metacity), xorg-x11 6.8.2-r5, and nvidia |
| 18 |
drivers (7676). |
| 19 |
GLX seems to be working fine (I can run glxgears in composite enabled |
| 20 |
server). |
| 21 |
Also, I have experienced a few problems. Firefox window got fully |
| 22 |
transparent somehow and I couldn't get it back. If I try to log out, the |
| 23 |
dialog where it asks logout/restart/shutdown doesn't appear also. |
| 24 |
gnome-panel goes to the back, and windows appear in front of them. Kinda |
| 25 |
small bugs, but still bugs! |
| 26 |
Has anyone managed to get it working fine and fast? |
