I am trying to get transparency and drop shadows to work on my FC4 box
and am having some difficulty. I set this up on my laptop with FC4
running under VMWare and it works like a charm. However, the same
process does not seem to work when booted directly to Linux.
I am running a current Nvidia card with dual head support. The TwinView
setup is working perfectly. The device section of my xorg.conf looks
like:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
VendorName "nVidia Corporation"
Driver "nvidia"
BusID "PCI:01:00:0"
Screen 0
Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "31.0 - 80.0"
Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "56.0 - 75.0"
Option "MetaModes" "1280x1024,1280x1024; 1024X768,1024X768;
800x600,800x600"
Option "TwinView"
Option "TwinViewOrientation" "RightOf"
EndSection
Module section:
Section "Module"
Load "dbe"
Load "extmod"
Load "fbdevhw"
Load "glx"
Load "record"
Load "freetype"
Load "type1"
EndSection
Screen Section:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x400"
EndSubSection
EndSection
When I try to add the Extensions section:
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "true"
EndSection
vim highlights the "EndSection" line as if it is an error. And, sure
enough, when I try to restart X with the new section, it refuses to
start.
Has anybody gotten this to work on their machine? Is this a no-can-do
with dual head? Is there something that I am missing?
Any assistance would be appreciated.
