Created attachment 26968 [details] xfce4-note-plugin with and without transparent i am using archlinux, compiz-git kernel26-git from linus' git tree, mesa-git from master branch, libdrm git from master branch, xf86-video-ati-git from kms-support branch just like airlied's blog wrote, the KMS seems work very well with X. all above have updated just now. hardware: X700 mobility (M26) Problems: when some apps enable transparent(like xfce4-note-plugin, gimp tool panel), the whole window turn to very white. and use mouse wheel to transparent one application will get the same problem see the screenshoot, but not every application, QT, terminal, tilda etc will be ok. when enable popup menu's transparent, the separater also turn white and can't see it clearly. but other part of menu are all right. and the menu in QT apps (qtconfig, opera) and GTK apps with RGBA support (xfce4-terminal, tilda) will be better. but the problem only happen when using compiz, not happen if i use composite provited by xfwm. if i not select "indirect rendering" in fusion-icon, it will have no such problem either, but with kernel26-git, it's too slow, and every action stop for a while. i have to let it selected. And of course without KMS all things are fine.

PLUS1: this problem is appear before the kernel is still 2.6.29, i was using kernel26-rc8-git from airlied's git tree. and the the same system, in desktop pc with X300 have no such problem. the laptop X700 have this problem. PS2: and X700 card can't change screen resolution. only one chooise: 1280x800
If it only happens with indirect rendering, probably your X server or 3D driver is missing support for version 2 of the DRI_TexBuffer extension. xserver needs to be from Git master commit 91b697efdefba125348dbcaf584ee51a7f8c9bf6 or later and needs to be built against dri_interface.h from current Mesa.
the xorg-server in Arch is 1.6.1.901, and seems intel's KMS and dir2 works fine. i tried recompile xorg-server 1.6.1.901 but still have this problem. i am tring to compile xorg-server-git.

With indirect rendering as well? > i tried recompile xorg-server 1.6.1.901 but still have this problem. 1.6.1.901 doesn't have the commit I mentioned (I've nominated it on http://wiki.x.org/wiki/Server16Branch now), so the symptoms you describe are expected with DRI2 indirect rendering.
Thanks, i am asking other user for ensure this problem and if intel user also have it in the forum. i have compiled xorg-server-git successfully, but can't start X, seems lots of things need to be update. and i am tring to compile xorg-server 1.6.901 with the patch you had mentioned.
wow, it's OK now, i patched all the patches which archlinux offical didn't, it's all fine now. seems the problem is just because of what you mentioned, thank you very much, i'll report it to arch offical to add these patches. and hope you can release a new version of xorg, so we won't have such problem any more. ;)
