Works like a charm, except for some glitches: 1) kwin crashes when starting the first time unless I do martin@merkaba:~> cat .kde/env/fix-kwin-intel-gl.sh #!/bin/sh export KWIN_DIRECT_GL=1 reported this already. This only happens since mesa 7.11. Which I still prefer since it fixed corruptions with playing a playstation game via pcsx reloaded. 2) if compositing in kwin is enabled and I leave a game from full screen mode the X server might crash. I am not sure actually whether I reported this. I think I have... I did try 3.1.0-rc4 debian package for a short while. It basically worked, but there is no linux-kbuild for it yet for building virtualbox and thinkpad smapi modules, so I reverted to 3.0. In summary my short recommendation is: Use Wheezy (or Sid if you want to live on the edge, but not necessary anymore) instead of Squeeze on Sandybridge machines ;).
