Well, I searched the lists some more and found a reference to starting XDirectFB using:
#!/bin/sh /usr/local/X11R6/bin/XDirectFB -enableRoot -defaultOpacity 200 -ac -nolisten tcp & sleep 3 && DISPLAY=:0 startkde I modified it for both Openbox3 and Gnome. Openbox segfaults (it's alpha, not surprising) but gnome will actually start. The problem is that gnome seems to be ghosting the windows (I see the window but half of it is duplicated to the right of it) and also the color is odd. It seems like it's almost running in a psuedo grayscale. I tried to take a screenshot but that caused the entire thing to crash to console and hardlock. -Chris On Thu, 2003-07-24 at 15:52, Chris Anderson wrote: > Hrmm, I'm thinking I'm not starting XDirectFB actually, the following is > the `startx` script I use: > > userclientrc=$HOME/.xinitrc > userserverrc=$HOME/.xserverrc > sysclientrc=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc > sysserverrc=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xserverrc > defaultclient=/usr/X11R6/bin/xterm > defaultserver=/usr/local/X11R6/bin/XDirectFB > defaultclientargs="" > defaultserverargs="" > clientargs="" > > Am I doing this correctly? > > > > On Thu, 2003-07-24 at 15:28, Eric Christopherson wrote: > > On Wed, Jul 23, 2003 at 11:34:23PM -0400, Chris Anderson wrote: > > > I've got my system running in XDirectFB (I built XF4.3 with the patches) > > > and everyoe says I need to use META+ALT and my mouse to change a > > > window's opacity.
