Hello,

I have a laptop with a S3 Savage/IX-MV graphical card and xorg-7.0 (I dist-upgraded yesterday).
I enabled the true transparency with the composite extension, but in xfce4, the 'Compositing Manager' tab is not present; so I 
can't test transparency with xfce4.
It's weird, because the true transparency is working with KDE; so it's not a problem with my card...

Any idea ?

Thanks in advance.




Regards,
Christophe.
