I have an ATI MOBILITY™ RADEON™ 9000 IGP with 64MB DDR video memory shared video memory (to quote). Would enableing RenderAccel cause a bit of a break (and my having to some how reverse this), or is it safe to enable it? (I think I can also change the 64MB, but I do not konw how off-hand.)

I'm using GeForce2 and I get similar behaviour. I think it's probably related 
to NVidia claiming the RenderAccel is still *experimental*. Shame.

Peace,

Hm.  If I enable RenderAccel, Xorg shoots up to 99% of the CPU time while the 
splash screen is showing and never finishes booting.  The mouse works, but 
that's it.  I have to log in over ssh and kill -9 the Xorg process by hand.  
Without that set, the transparency and shadow effects are there but the 
system is also unusably slow.  

Any idea what the issue could be?  My card is an NVidia GeForce3, using their 
proprietary driver installed the "debian way".  Thanks.

Here also no problems, please be sure to enable the RenderAccel and AllowGLXWithComposite option in xorg.conf/XF86Config

Before I enabled RenderAccel it was unusable slow.

This is my config (only device, module and section settings):

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "NVIDIA Corporation NV40 [GeForce 6200
TurboCache]"
    Driver  "nvidia"
    BusID   "PCI:1:0:0"
    Option  "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true"
    Option  "RenderAccel" "true"
EndSection

Section "Module"
    Load    "bitmap"
    Load    "dbe"
    Load    "ddc"
    Load    "extmod"
    Load    "freetype"
    Load    "glx"
    Load    "int10"
    Load    "record"
    Load    "type1"
    Load    "vbe"
EndSection

Section "Extensions"
    Option  "Composite" "true"
EndSection

AW: Running KDE 3.4.2 with Transparent Windows

2005-09-15 Thread Krusemark, Michael, fiscus GmbH, Bonn 



 

  
  
  
  The reason is very simple. All new nvidia drivers don't support 
  composite. You have to use version 699x!
   
  But don't ask me, wheather this version supports your video 
  card. Ask NVidia - 
  or better, ask them why they have dropped support for 
  composite.
   
  Best regards and rest in 
  hope for a better nvidia driver,
  Michael
