Thanks Ray.
That got it working for me. It doesn't cause any major issues or anything,
but it seemed to die on its own a couple times (just showing a normal GNOME
desktop without shadows). Rerunning spififity after that brought it back
up. On my Radeon 9000 it's kind of slow. I was wondering if anything can
be done to make it faster?
My xorg.conf options are:
Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps"
Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "1"
Option "RenderAccel" "yes"
Option "AccelMethod" "xaa"
I tried exa, but that made it seem even slower. Should I consider ATI's
proprietary drivers? Is there any other flag worth trying?
Thanks for the help. It's pretty cool.
