I have pcie geforce6600 board primary
and pci riva tnt2 as secondary with xinerama,
drivers
=media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.7664
=media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.7664

Primary card is controlled by nvidia module, secondary with nv driver.
A shame, composite crashes after run xcompmgr.
I have modified xorg.conf (v6.8.2-r2) following steps on gentoo-wiki.org.

So the problem is in xorg xinerama code?

I don't know what fixed it, but my guess is, as Duncan suggested, I
didn't reboot after recompiling the kernel, and before emerging
nvidia. After that sequence, the module loads fine.

Thank you all very much for the tips and taking the time to help. Best regards

Anyone got work X transparency (composite) with xcompmgr working with
2.6.12 and nvidia drivers? For me it is not working even with generic nv
driver.
      
I don't do unfreedomware, and have an issue with NVidia not providing
even programming interface information to the community, so I refuse to
buy NVidia video.

However, I got it working with an ATI Radeon 9200 SE and the xorg native
drivers the other day.  It's /nice/ in KDE.  That was running the
xorg-x11-6.8.99.15 6.9/7.0 snapshot build, with unified framebuffer on a
dual 2048x1736 monitor layout.

Composite crashes with Xinerama enabled and dual framebuffers instead of
the single unified framebuffer, thru 6.8.99.13.  The .14 and .15
snapshots won't xinerama correctly even without composite, and I decided I
liked the separate framebuffers with xinerama (I like being able to
switch the resolution on one monitor without having to worry about the
other one as well), so I switched back to .13, without composite, of
course, since it crashes in xinerama mode.

Still, I was able to play with it enough to get a feel for why everybody
is going so crazy over composite, and what it can do.  Once it goes fully
stable, it'll definitely support some really nice eye candy.  It's really
cool when it works.
