compiz needs composite *and* 3D; I assume metacity+compositing only needs compositing? would it be sufficient to look for [ 3.078905] (II) Composite (RENDER acceleration) in Xorg.0.log? Is there a better way to detect compositing availability? I have looked at metacity compositing at the sprint, and it doesn't do a lot; basically, transparency and drop shadows. However, that might be enough for notify-osd, of course. My concerns here: * The _real_ problem is that notify-osd does not look "good enough" on metacity. This needs to be fixed eiter way, since there will always be drivers which does not support compositing (vesa, nv, all the old ones like cirrus, etc.) * Introducing metacity+composite at this point of the release cycle seems dangerous to me, since it will come with its own set of bugs, uncover compositing bugs in drivers, and thus lead to hardware support regressions. Thus this is an interesting option to explore for future releases, but I'd give my nack for Jaunty for this. -- enable composting in metacity by default https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/334063 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
