Yep, got it now, built OK on x86_64 (warning about non-existant user using root
instead) xcompmgr runs fine with xorg 7.0RC4 on radeon

xcompmgr loads, KDE with transparent/fade/shadows works ok, if rather slowly.

one or two cases where single row of pixels not composited properly, I wouldn't
know if this was xorg, kde or xcompmgr though.

On a 3GHz P4 it eats 50% user CPU + 30% system cpu by runnign a fully cached "ls
-lR /" in a foreground konsole, if running in a transparent background konsole
it still eats 50% user but only eats 10% system, however it runs about 1/4 the
speed.

I'm sure that slowness is to be expected without using fglrx, but would be
delighted to receive any magic xorg.conf tweaks :-)

Is anything blocking this going into extras?
