Howdy,
Played around and got Transparency working with KDE 3.5.1. In the past
it had been extremely slow. This time I found:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_Xorg_X11_and_Transparency
which proved to be very useful (THANK YOU to the author(s)). I was missing:
Option "backingstore" "true"
from my xorg.conf.
I have noticed one problem. When I open KDE's Control Center, and I resize
the window, the left panel is filled with the background. Another way
to duplicate
the problem is to open KWrite and do a resize, then the main panel is
filled with
the background. I've tried with ARGB enabled/disabled, no joy. Any ideas?
Should I try with xorg-x11 7.0?
Here's my Devices section from my xorg.conf:
Section "Device"
Option "CursorShadow" "True"
Option "TwinView" "True"
Option "TwinViewOrientation" "RightOf"
Option "MetaModes"
"1600x1200,1600x1200;1280x1024,1280x1024;1024x768,1024x768;800x600,800x600"
Option "SecondMonitorHorzSync" "28-95"
Option "SecondMonitorVertSync" "50-120"
Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true"
Option "RenderAccel" "true"
Option "backingstore" "true"
Option "UseEDIDDpi" "FALSE"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "nVidia Corporation"
BoardName "Unknown Board"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
I'm running nvidia 1.0.8178 on x86, linux-2.6.14-gentoo-r4 kernel.
TIA,
Roy
