(of course, I restarted X :) Also, is > there supposed to be a command called kompmgr? I can't locate it. Yeah, kompmgr is the KDE-ized version of xcompmgr. You may have to set a USE flag to get it installed. Are you using the monolithic ebuild (kde), metapackage (kde-meta), or some other set of packages? I'm using the metapackage and I get kompmgr like so: # equery b $(which kompmgr) [ Searching for file(s) /usr/kde/3.5/bin/kompmgr in *... ] kde-base/kwin-3.5.1 (/usr/kde/3.5/bin/kompmgr) # emerge -pv '=kde-base/kwin-3.5.1' These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild R ] kde-base/kwin-3.5.1 USE="arts kdeenablefinal xcomposite xinerama -debug" 0 kB Total size of downloads: 0 kB I bet 'xcomposite' is the critical USE flag. Also, I would suggest your turn on the backing store. It's another modification to xorg.conf, but it should pay off with less CPU usage. The gentoo wiki should provide instructions on exactly how to modify your xorg.conf. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. bss03@volumehost.com ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
