Re: [gentoo-user] xorg and transparency
Hi all, I tried it on mine...pretty slow with shadow...but with translucence on without shadowits bearablle...but its not instantaneous... I am using a SiS 5591/2 AGP card .

It's instantaneous here. With a shitty SiS card.

I tried it also. I didn't meet any problem except the speed. I set RenderAccel TRUE, and it has changed far faster than without it, but it is very slow anyway. Without transparency I can change across virtual desktops from a second to another, but with it it takes 3 seconds. Did I make some mistakes? I added tha composite modul, and renderaccel. I didn't use AllowGLXWithComposite, I thought it is for ATI, am I right? I have AMD 1800+ XP, 512 MB RAM, Nvidia FX5200 AGP and I use KDE 3.4. I didn't use xcompmgr and transset, only the settings in the Kontrolcenter. Tamas Sarga Sárga Tamás -- Make the world confused!Zavard össze a világot!

[gentoo-user] xorg and transparency
Hello. I have been experimenting with xcomposite in xorg, to enable transparency and other effects. I added this to xorg.conf: Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "Enable" EndSection and this under the Device section: Option "RenderAccel" "true" Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true" Things are working fine. I can now call on xcompmgr and transset to enable transparency on windows. However, things are incredibly slow. Only effect that doesn't seem to cause a slowdown are the shadows and menu fading. All the rest, pretty slow. I'm running gnome 2.12 (with metacity), xorg-x11 6.8.2-r5, and nvidia drivers (7676). GLX seems to be working fine (I can run glxgears in composite enabled server). Also, I have experienced a few problems. Firefox window got fully transparent somehow and I couldn't get it back. If I try to log out, the dialog where it asks logout/restart/shutdown doesn't appear also. gnome-panel goes to the back, and windows appear in front of them. Kinda small bugs, but still bugs! Has anyone managed to get it working fine and fast?-- Bruno Lustosa, aka Lofofora | Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Network Administrator/Web Programmer | ICQ: 1406477 Rio de Janeiro - Brazil |
