I'm trying to get translucency working in X. As soon as I start xcompmgr everything disappears and tries desperately to redraw itself... but fails. Eventually X locks up. xcompmgr is giving a stream of errors such as: error 9 request 152 minor 4 serial 11312 error 9 request 152 minor 4 serial 11322 error 9 request 152 minor 4 serial 11329 error 9 request 152 minor 4 serial 11339 error 9 request 152 minor 4 serial 11349 error 9 request 152 minor 4 serial 11359 error 9 request 152 minor 4 serial 11369 error 9 request 152 minor 4 serial 11379 error 9 request 152 minor 4 serial 11389 error 9 request 152 minor 4 serial 11399 error 166 request 152 minor 8 serial 11423 error 166 request 152 minor 8 serial 11495 error 166 request 152 minor 8 serial 11572 error 166 request 152 minor 8 serial 11639 error 166 request 152 minor 8 serial 11706 error 166 request 152 minor 8 serial 11773 error 166 request 152 minor 8 serial 11840 error 166 request 152 minor 8 serial 11907 error 166 request 152 minor 8 serial 11974 etc I'm using a matrox G450 dual head. -- Andrew Betts Jasp Computer Services Ltd
