From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0) Cirrus chipset GD5480 with the Xserver causes translucent windows in KDE and GNOME. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install Fisher 2.During Install and setup of X you should notice the problem. 3. Actual Results: Translucent windows Expected Results: No translucent windows Even installing rawhide1 to RH7 produced the same functionality in X when upgraded.
Try using the latest rawhide version of XFree86-4.0.2-9. The 3.3.6 package should only be used if XFree86-4.0.2 fails. I just recently added a patch for this card.
Ok I update to the rawhide version of XFree86-4.0.2-9, how can I tell if I am running the XFree86 version 4 rather than the version 3? Is there a way to force the version 4 to run and not to fall back on version 3? Thanks Ray
Went to rawhide.redhat.com, I pulled down XFree86* Xconfigurator* Glide* Mesa* freetype* I then did a rpm -ivh Glide* rpm -Fvh *.rpm I then restarted Xserver and now have the translucent windows. I am running XFree86-4.0.2-6 (which is the latest on rawhide) Thanks
In answer to your first question, you use XFree 4, by specifying: Xconfigurator --preferxf4 This forces XFree86 4.0.2 to be used. In answer to your second entry, You said you're using XFree86-4.0.2-6, and are still having the problem. This does not come as a surprise to me because I said to try: XFree86-4.0.2-9 out when it is available, which it isn't right now. So... I've put it in my FTP space for you. You can find it at: ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris/XFree86/4.0.2-9/ If you try it out, please update the bug report wether it works or not. If it works for you, I can then close the bug report. Thanks, and good luck!
Ftp'd to the mentioned site and grabbed the XFree86-4.0.2-9 files and did rpm -Fvh *.rpm restarted X server and all is working. Thanks for the quick fix! Ray
