Maybe I am wrong (I can't actually stand terminal transparency...sure it looks cool, but I need to get work done!), but I think this is what the COMPOSITE extension for X was supposed to do...allow high-performance alpha blending among other things. You might check out (via xdpyinfo) whether his X is built/configured for composite support or not..and compare to yours. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
