Description Darryl Bleau 2004-09-10 10:11:00 UTC 
xorg-x11 6.8.0 emerged and compiled flawlessly and for the most part I have no problems running on 3 monitors with xinerama. However, when I try to enable the eyecandy (dropshadows) with xcompmgr -c, the left and right monitors go darker (as if the entire monitor was dropshadowed), each app window dissapears and all that is left visible is the dropshadow. As well, setting the transperancy doesn't seem to do anything at all.

Portage 2.0.50-r11 (gcc34-2004.2, gcc-3.4.1, glibc-2.3.4.20040619-r1, 2.6.7-gentoo-r11)

Comment 1 Aaron Lake 2004-09-15 05:52:32 UTC 
Any chance you're using metacity?
Comment 2 Simon Strandman 2004-11-22 09:49:24 UTC 
The composite extension is not stable yet and therefore it's disabled by default. I think you should report this to freedesktop's bugzilla instead!
Comment 3 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-11-22 11:14:08 UTC 
Simon has a point. Try filing a bug at bugs.freedesktop.org against xcompmgr.

Once you do, please post the URL here so we can track it upstream.
Comment 4 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-11-22 11:14:42 UTC 
Oh, make sure you're using the latest xcompmgr before you do. That'd be 1.1.1.
Comment 5 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-05-24 01:23:25 UTC 
Please post the URL to the bug here after you've tested the latest xcompmgr and
xorg and shown they don't work.
