EXA on ATI is usable ( although I think it's barely perceptably slower than composite-less XAA ) but compositing/aiglx(?) still has the other non-speed related bugs: * wmnet's window contents being placed in the wrong location * windowmaker's shaped transient indicating which workspace I'm on isn't shaped * wmxmms quits with an obscure GDK error. (This happens even when not running under windowmaker) For the heck of it I tried xcompmgr, and on my ATI windowmaker's decorations are all differently wrong than on my MGA -- on the ATI they all seem to be in a "brighten only" mode, whereas on the MGA they're all pure transparent.
