I've upgraded libgl-dri, and now my xcompmgr aint working anymore. It does show up and boot and works for 10 seconds. But then it just disappears. I'm using it in combination with gnome.
My .xinitrc:
xcompmgr -c &
exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session /opt/gnome/bin/gnome-session
Xorg.conf:

I does not show up any failure in the console, does anybody know what the problem could be?

I have the same problem with KDE. Before the upgrade (libx11, libgl-dri and xorg-server) shadow and transparancy worked well in KDE.
I also have an other problem after this upgrade. The screen turns to black (as if the system goes into standby mode; the led of my monitor turns from green to orange). Keyboard and mouse are not working (or I can't see if they're working), switching to console is not possible.

The last update, which updated libgl-dri and libx11 has fixed the problem for me
Eric do you still have problems with xcompmgr?

Hoi YscO,

I've been playing with the AccelMethod option and now found that firefox seems to be affected by it a lot. Compare EXA to XAA when scrolling the frontpage of archlinux.org.

My first impression is that it is a lot faster with XAA.... :shock:
