Post subject:  Xorg X11 and Transparency
Has anyone tried the new shadowing and transparency features in xorg?

I tried, using this guide:

http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_Xorg_X11_and_Tranparency

but it's very slow! Can't move any window.... On the PC side I had the same problem with a NVIDIA card, but it was solved with the RENDER on option. Is there any special option for Radeon cards? This is my Device section:
Quote:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Radeon7500"
Driver "radeon"
Option "BusType" "PCI"
Option "BackingStore" "true"
Option "EnablePageFlip" "true"
EndSection
Also, after activating "Composite", transparency on fluxbox stopped working.... :-(

Thank u!

To activate the RENDER extension add the following section:
Code:
Section "Extensions"
Option "RENDER" "Enable"
EndSection
It's still painfully slow on my box. Even though the new Radeon driver is supposed to support RENDER on my core.
