Don't bother, transluXent fails to run with a GLX error. I mailed the author about it quite a while ago but never got a reply. If you want to try a cool alternative X server, I recommend XDirectFB. It also does real translucency (although that's not yet accelerated on Radeons) and other nice things. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer \ Debian (powerpc), XFree86 and DRI developer Software libre enthusiast \ http://svcs.affero.net/rm.php?r=daenzer
