Xorg 6.8.2, Composite, and GLX don't play nice

Post by Wally Balljacker » Sun Apr 30, 2006 11:44 pm

After enabling the composite extension in Xfce, running any application that uses GLX crashes the X server. If I disable Composite, GLX works fine. According to the error message it spits out, I need to be running 6.9 or newer to use both. I'm contemplating upgrading to the testing version of 7.0, but I've heard all the horror stories of being left with a broken X server. Anyone running Xorg 7.0 on Gentoo? Is it a fairly clean upgrade?
