KDE 3.4 translucency problem
Hello all, I have a problem in KDE 3.4 with the translucency enabled. It seems that it happens only with Konqueror. If you open two windows which one of them is Konqueror and you move the Konqueror window it stays translucent and doesn't recover from it. Has anybody else come across this problem or is there something faulty in my Konqueror config? All the best Hamid

I cannot assist you, but I hope you don't mind me adding this to the thread using the same subject line since my issue is not being able to run translucency / shadows at all. Turning this option on will crash X and I find myself back at the login prompt again. I had to re-login twice before I was able to turn it back off. Using SuSE 9.2, KDE 3.4, 2.6.8-24.13 kernel (custom re-compile for smp and scsi raid) on the latest Nvidia drivers. Nothing found searching the web and until now, nothing mentioned in this mailing list. I understand the warnings, this option gives by turning on, but all I've seen on the web, seems to work everywhere. Maybe the video card lacks memory (only 64Mb)? KDE windows _really_ slow for the time before crashing. Anyone else? carl

Carl, Is your graphics card of the nVidia variety? I spoke with someone else that tried using translucency. They got the same reaction you experienced, with nVidia. I have tried it, but did not suffer the ill effects you describe though, but my card is ATI. I do think it is still broken though, if memory serves me, but I do think there exists problems with it and the nVidia drivers. Lee

Lee, Ooops, thought I mentioned it is an nVidia "Quadro4 200/400NVS". I tend to agree with you, I had kompmgr enabled a bit ago and ran for about 5 min. It almost acts like a huge memory leak, takes me right back to the KDM login (xserver restarting?). I have looked at .xsession-errors but oddly enough there is other stuff in there and I don't know if it is related. I'll keep an eye out on nVidia's site. FYI, current nVidia driver is 7167. carl

I have a nVidia Go5200 with nVidia driver and the same Kernel and SuSE version you have but didn't have crashing after I added the "Composite" extension to the xorg config. It was very slow but after turning the "RenderAccel" on that is gone now and it is wroking normally now. Still it is buggy somehow I think (specially the translucency) but it is really beautiful and amazing. I'm really impressed. cheers Hamid
