Humm, then I'm thinking maybe I don't, but I'm still looking around
for the right controls in the xfce4 settings editors. glxgears is
failing but I haven't even looked for instructions yet on enabling 3d
so maybe that's expected.
I added this to xorg.conf
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection
and restarted the server. The xfce website said to select and hover
over the title bar of a window and then roll the mouse. The window
should become more or less transparent. That's the only test I know to
do right now.
Thanks,
Mark
