I am using 4.2.0. Actually, it is not apps like XMMS that are turning black
either. It is the 8-bit apps that are turning black. I never have a
problem with the normal 24-bit apps.
What is this other bug with overlays that you refer to? (Aside from that
fact that the configuration required to make it work is totally different
from what the documentation says)
Thanks
