Hi, Allthough I must agree that the transparent windows looked awesome, there were a few things that bugged me and made me go back to normal X11.
- bad documentation ... it was pretty hard to figure lots of stuff out with hardly any docs out there. - No root window! i tried the bg-file = "" in my .directfbrc with no success. but that wasn't the worst part. My window manager(s) respond to a right click on the root menu and then pop up a menu. Well without a root window it wasn't responding to my clicks and no menu's where popping up. So i had to use an xterm that opened at startup ... - and having capslock as modifier key, my typeing started with caps a lot. (very annoying) maybe a diff modifer key, or maybe let it not change the caps setting if wheel is beeing turned - VERY slow X startup ... what's causing this? (I have a voodoo3 on a pIII 1ghz with mtrr) - unable to get console back after exiting X. The alt-sysrq-r trick works ... until X is actually all up and running .. then .. no more console (on that vt and i know i saw SOMEwhere how to setup more vt and have diffrent vc use diffrent vt but i don't remember where I saw this) I'm sorry if I sound all negative, because the transparancy was great!. Slow (in xterms doing ls for instance used up a LOT of cpu and was just slow) but awesome i took some screenshots to show off .....and went back to my working XFree86 : ( great work however and keep it up! -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe directfb-users" as subject.
