xorg.conf and transparency

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I am trying to get transparency and drop shadows to work on my FC4 box
and am having some difficulty. I set this up on my laptop with FC4
running under VMWare and it works like a charm. However, the same
process does not seem to work when booted directly to Linux.

I am running a current Nvidia card with dual head support. The TwinView
setup is working perfectly.  The device section of my xorg.conf looks
like:

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Videocard0"
        VendorName  "nVidia Corporation"
        Driver      "nvidia"
        BusID       "PCI:01:00:0"
        Screen 0
        Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "31.0 - 80.0"
        Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "56.0 - 75.0"
        Option "MetaModes" "1280x1024,1280x1024; 1024X768,1024X768;
800x600,800x600"
        Option "TwinView"
        Option "TwinViewOrientation" "RightOf"
EndSection

Module section:

Section "Module"
        Load  "dbe"
        Load  "extmod"
        Load  "fbdevhw"
        Load  "glx"
        Load  "record"
        Load  "freetype"
        Load  "type1"
EndSection


Screen Section:

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Videocard0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        DefaultDepth     24
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth     24
                Modes    "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x400"
        EndSubSection
EndSection


When I try to add the Extensions section:

Section "Extensions"
    Option "Composite" "true"
EndSection

vim highlights the "EndSection" line as if it is an error. And, sure
enough, when I try to restart X with the new section, it refuses to
start.

Has anybody gotten this to work on their machine? Is this a no-can-do
with dual head? Is there something that I am missing? 

Any assistance would be appreciated.
