The latter may be harmless, but I don't know enough about the former, since it only appears to be useful on some ati hardware. There's a reason why upstream hasn't enabled it by default in the driver. > +SECTION > printf "EndSection\n" >&4 > > ### MONITOR > @@ -428,6 +433,15 @@ > EndSection > SECTION > > +### Extensions > +exec 4>"$DEXCONFTMPDIR/Extensions" > +cat >&4 <<SECTION > +Section "Extensions" > + # needed for beryl > + Option "Composite" "Enable" > +EndSection > +SECTION I haven't decided if enabling composite by default is a wise move yet. No one in Debian has done a real analysis as to what the downsides of such a decision are. While compiz and beryl may be very sexy, I don't want to break or degrade performance on systems not running them simply for the convenience of not having to modify xorg.conf. It's not out of the question, but I don't want to blindly enable options in our default settings for the bling of it. - David Nusinow -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
