Chapter 2. Xorg

Table of Contents

Setup

You necessarily need X.org 6.8 or later to have kompmgr work. X.org 6.7 or older or XFree86 won't work.

Setup

You need to explicitly enable the Composite extension. Add a new Section to your X.org configuration file:

Section "Extensions"
    Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection

If supported by your GPU (the complex chip that powers a modern graphics card), activate the Render acceleration. This is best supported by NVIDIA™, and less completely by ATI cards.

Section "Device"
....
....
    Option     "RenderAccel" "true"
....
....
EndSection

kompmgr should be available now. For more information, please see the FAQ.
