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. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
