For me the top and bottom portions are but not the middle (where items are listed), try Lancelot it is transparent thru and thru

I have the freeze problem (ten to 30 seconds freeze) on window show (ctrl-F8) and desktop grid show. I have tried created .drirc but no change. I have no messages in Xorg.0.log...

Hope this helps...

Try updating to the latest version of MESA(7.10.1), minimum kernel 2.6.36, libdrm and intel driver. Your problem is similar but not the same.

I've upgraded to suse 11.4 release, and also turned off all the desktop effects that did anything fancy, leaving only "snap helper", "window geometry", "startup feedback", "dialogue parent" and "dim screen for admin mode", and the problems have gone away.

I will try turning back on the few desktop effects I want and see if the freezing comes back.

--edit--
boxswitch doesn't cause the freezing

(thinkpad edge14 w/ i3-370M(2.4GHz), 4GB RAM, Intel HD Graphics & Kubuntu 11.04 x64)

I'm facing similar extreme slow down in performance/extreme choppy graphics performance starting only recently after a system update that brought along w/ it Firefox5beta.

1. Is there anyway to roll back to Firefox4? Extension FEBE is incompatible w/ firefox5beta (profile, extension and preference backup). Have to use FEBE beta7 under Firefox4 so I don't think a compatible release for Firefox5beta is going to come out any time soon.

Switching over to xrender seems to have solved the issues. I much prefer to stay under xrender because the system seems to run/looks much smoother than under OpenGL:

2. Are there any benefits to running under OpenGL over Xrender?
3. Only feature that I miss is the blur effect under the taskbar; is there any way to emulate the blur effect under xrender w/ qtcurve and oxygen desktop theme?
4. The only performance related issue that I've noticed under Xrender was when running Diablo II:LOD under wine (only game i've installed under kde4 thus far). Are there any tweaks/patches/configuration to ensure smooth graphics performance (game play and video playback) w/ xrender? Is it recommended to play under OpenGL w/ original graphics performance issues at hand?

Any help that anyone can provide would be very much appreciated.
Thank You.

Rolling back to Firefox 4 likely involves a procedure specific to your package manager. I would suggest asking on your distributions forums (and make sure to check the repos you have enabled too...)

Blur requires OpenGL unfortunately.

Of course, time will tell, as I haven't had the fix in place long enough to see if the freeze/temporary-lockup problem has gone away.

http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/ConfigurationInfrastructure

There is a system-wide configuration file /etc/drirc that applies to all users. Those settings can be overridden by a user's configuration file $HOME/.drirc. Both files have exactly the same format.

BTW. I do not need any .drirc anymore with the following soft/hardware combination.
Software used:
* libdrm 2.4.26
* kernel 2.6.39.2
* intel driver 2.15.0
* mesa 7.11_rc1
* xorg 1.10.3
Hardware:
* 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
* part of a D945GCLF (Desktop board : Essential Series)

Hi,
I think this 4 year old topic can be un-sticked?
cheers
