xcompmgr is a sample composite manager for X. Together with the X

Well, thanks for you efforts, but this is what my desktop (i386) looks like
after running "xcompmgr" (and moving an xterm around):

In the back (on the right) you can see some screens of apps I ran a couple of
weeks ago, but who's aura has returned ;-)
When I terminate the "xcompmgr" program, my normal desktop returns. I used to
run Slackware Linux on this laptop, and there xcompmgr worked, so the
combination of this card and X.org is ok.
Sorry but this is a completely useless report.
Which X.Org driver are you using? Is your slackware using X.Org 6.8.2 or
-current, is it using the released xcompmgr or a patched one ?
The X composite extension is known to have issues. This is why it's not
enabled by default.
If you care about doing a useful bug report, please submit it to X.Org's
bugzilla <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/>, and attach Xorg.0.log for
both systems.
