    Tried transset? I'm not sure if it conflicts with XFCE's composite manager but trying wouldn't hurt; type "transset 0.5", click a window and see what it does.

    By the way, here comes my new faster, less buggy favorite with which I've had no crashes:
    Code:
    -fF -n -D9 -r14 -O 0.05 -I 0.075
    No more shadows, fast fades, translucency.

    2. When I 1st boot it takes 2 mins for my session apps to come up after xcompmgr is loaded. Any way to speed this up?
    What order do you run it in?

    3. On my nVidia system I get artifacts on the desktop. They vanish if I move a window over the area to refresh it. Ever seen this?
    Yes. And I get weird scrolling mess ups too. Its part of it. Worth it for me because I have less outright crashes.

    Weird thing is shadows appear around the desklets screengrab which is sometimes well away from the desklet. ie: StarterBar. Oh well.

    41. Like the guide says. Should I go higher or lower?

    I see a new xcompmgr mentioned. Im having trouble finding it to download. Is it a .deb or source?

    It's a source but there's also a binary in the package as well. I easily built it from source and checkinstalled it, no extra dependencies.

    Its compiled in a zip file as an attachment in the first post. Extract it somewhere, then cd into that folder when you use the commands.

    Re: The Composite Manager Guide: How to Get Vista-ish Effects in (K)(X)Ubuntu.

    hello
    well i build the new version easily with checkinstall for my ubuntu64.
    It works pretty great.

    I still got the log out problem as everybody.
    As previously said, xcompmgr hangs my sessions start-up programs for about a minute.

    Anyway it is pretty great

    I have got the same problem, xcompmgr hangs my session start-up for about 3 minutes if i add it in the session start-up programs.
    So i removed it from the sessions start-up programs to solve the problem.

    Maybe it could be added in the bug list.

    If i would have a R100/R2XX ati card, i still could not use those new EXA acceleration thinks, because dapper is still using xorg 6.8.2, right ?
    How long do we have to wait for 7.0 ?
    or does someone have experimental cvs packages around ? Or just binaries ?
    Does 7.0 help for >R300 cards, too ?

    Eventually it will be in Dapper I am sure. Till then we wait I guess.

    Kinda. No acceration though, just compatibility.

    Re: The Composite Manager Guide: How to Get Vista-ish Effects in (K)(X)Ubuntu.

    just tried it out with x.org CVS.
    Followed instructions from:
    http://wiki.x.org/wiki/CvsPage#head-...3bdb14ad876d2d
    ... very easy and straigtforward.
    And with my ATI 9250 composite just works perfectly.
    And not only that: Xv, TV-Overlay, everything, just perfect,
    Thanks!
