Right, that's a Xorg/video driver problem. Depending on what driver and acceleration method you use (usually xaa or exa) accelerated video won't work in a composited environment. See for example the last comment here, http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showpost.php?p=25717&postcount=15 It's probably best to reassign this bug report to the video driver you're using. -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 760BDD22
