I can't use a transparent xfce4-terminal with

$ grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf 
        ### Available Driver options are:-
        Driver      "radeon"
        #Driver	    "nvidia"
	#Driver	    "nv"
	#Driver     "nouveau"
        #Driver     "vesa"

resp. I can, but it's very slow, when moving the window etc.,
fortunately I don't need transparency. Google Earth is ok.

The proprietary driver doesn't work with current versions of X.

I don't have this issues with NVIDIA.
