Re: awm issue

The fullscreen picture wont show the black area at the bottom of the screen, so it would actually describe less than that thumbnail.

Re: awm issue

I guess its that Avant thingy again, well, basically you need to enable compositing or use beryl/compiz for it to work.

If youre using fglrx drivers youll have to switch to the opensource ones or live without DRI.

Re: awm issue

I think some sort of compositing manager must be running, xcompmgr for example, or compiz/beryl, but thats a more radical solution.
