Hi, I've upgraded to the latest e16.8 from CVS, and noticed much to my joy a composite manager has been integrated into enlightenment. I activated this baby hoping to try out some of the latest and greatest features. While the manager was quite good, and in most cases performed better than what my experience with xcompmgr and xfce, it left a series of annoying artifacts on the desktop that completely cancelled any eye-candy value that the manager had. Also, the switching desktops animation no longer works properly; a desktop switch results in similar artifacts on the screen. Restarting enlightenment doesn't help at all. To see what I'm talking about, please go to http://www.physics.unc.edu/~rashkeev/gkrellShoot_07-20-05_130844.jpg
This is the result of me dragging the composite settings window around on the screen. As you can see, very annoying. This didn't happen in any other window manager, but strangely enough did occur when running xcompmgr on enlightenment. This makes me thing this has something to do with the way e draws the desktop that is fundamentally incompatible with the composite extention. Has anyone else had this problem? Am I missing something very clear, or is the composite manager broken? I could probably fix parts of this myself but wanted to make sure there was no other solution out there. I haven't seen anyone having the same problem on any mailing lists... I'm using X.org 6.8.2 from gentoo. My computer is an IBM-R40 laptop (P4M-2.0GHz, 256M ram, 16M Radeon 7500M graphics card). --Dmitry ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
