I managed to enable it after recompiling kde with the xcomposite use
flag, however it looks very bad. I am using the fglrx driver, but if
the only difference between that and nvidia is speed, then I don't want
it either way!
Screen sections get corrupted, windows are unusable, parts of windows
are transparent, old parts of the screen aren't updated (eg, the splash
screen is visible long after it's really disappeared) web browsing shows
lines of text over the top of each other -
is this what everyone else sees with translucency?
oh well, I'm happy with the semi-transparency of konsole for now!
thanks,
