Hi Hasseb,
I can't do much more than share my experience but perhaps that will be
enough. I am currently using a G550 with XFree86 v4.3.0. The hardware
overlay works very well for me, i.e. I get 24 plane TrueColor visuals
and an 8 plane PseudoColor visual. I have done 2 things beyond default
config to make things work well:
1. Add this line to Device Section of XF86Config:
Option Overlay 24,8
2. Add -cc 4 to X command line at startup.
The first thing turns on the overlay support and the 2nd thing makes
things work better but I'm not completely sure why - something to do
with the default visual of the root window.
The only drawback (and this doesn't bother me at all) is that 3d stuff
(DRI, GL?) doesn't seem to work with overlay turned on. I have tried
various combinations of stuff and I can get the 3d stuff and overlay to
work independently but not together.
Hope this helps.
Malcolm
