Re: X.org Translucency Lockup: Should I file a bug?
Hi,
I've had the same problem for some time now. It's been a long
time since i've played w/ it, but iirc the nvidia (you are using binary
like me i'm assuming?) documentation warns that the composite extension
is not supported and experimental. Same goes for the RenderAccel
option in the xorg.conf. I *think* that for right now it's an
issue w/ the stinking binary drivers as opposed to a problem w/
x.org. As has been previously mentioned however, it's really not
practical to run w/out the hardware acceleration... Anyway, i think for
now we're just kind of stuck waiting for nvidia.
Good luck,
Cameron Matheson

Hm. Well, no probs with shadows here (yet, anyway). I tried enabling
the "DAMAGE" and "RENDER" extensions in
xorg.conf just in case, but
that didn't help, still locks up. I'd be glad to help debug it if
someone would tell me how.
Is this even the right list? Should I be asking on -devel?
