Description Piotrek Juzwiak 2010-03-17 17:00:41 UTC

After upgrading my system to libdrm-2.4.19 and mesa to 7.8_rc1 kwin can't turn desktop effects on. After running kwin with "kwin --replace --sync" then turning on desktop-effects it reported composite is not working or disabled (i have no xorg conf). Xorg.0.log reports composite as enabled.

After upgrading mesa i recompiled xorg-server (1.7.5.902)and all the drivers (xf86-video-intel xf86-input-mouse/evdev/keyboard). While the Xrender backend works it is painfully slow. Please tell me what more should i provide to resolve this issue.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Turn on desktop effects in KDE's system settings
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
It fails setting this up

Expected Results:  
It should turn on desktop-effects without complaining.
