He runs xfree-4.3 and so does not have composite at all. I also checked
for extmod and he doesnt have it enabled. I will try it though, but I

Well, then I guess I wouldnt know. Thats the only way I've ever been
able to get Konsole or Gnome Terminal to use real alpha transperency. I
would check your Xorg config for that Extmod line I mentioned in the
other post. Without it, you cant use real alpha transperency (well at

One other note, you will also need Load "extmod" in your X server config
file for the alpha to work. Otherwise you wont notice true alpha being
on. The easiest way to tell if you have true alpha on is to make the
taskbar transperant and then move a window BEHIND it. If you can see
the window, yo

it. You can find t
It shouldn't be a hardware issue as my machine has a Geforce 4 running
the nvidia-drivers. He has a Geforce 3 running the nvidia-drivers also.
I am also running the latest stable versions of everything mixed with a
few unstable packages. So it shouldn't be a problem regarding me running

Using my friends Debian machine yesterday and his terminals had a
"better" transparency than mine. Gnome-terminal, Eterm and Aterm all
refreshed their transparency when moving the terminals around, whereas
on my box I have to drop the terminal before the transparency updates.
