xf86-video-intel / gnome-terminal transparency

Hi

I am a new arch user. I am having a transparency problem.
I have installed Arch on Dell XPS 502X it uses nvidia optimus. I could not start Nvidia card but it is not a big deal.

I cant use gnome-terminal background as transparent with xf86-video-intel driver. terminal is always opaque

When I remove xf86-video-intel, terminal becomes transparent but i am loosing native resolution. Also gnome starts in fallback mode.

I want to use terminal transparent. What should I do ?

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.
