If you have enabled GLX and Composite at once, and run a GLX program, then X will crash. This is likely the cause of your problems. The difficulty is, for the moment, you have to sacrifice either GLX if you want to use Composite reliably. -- Tom Martin, http://dev.gentoo.org/~slarti AMD64, net-mail, shell-tools, vim, recruiters Gentoo Linux
