It happen often that X freeze... cold reboot is required ! So have no access to log (Complete freeze !)
I think that the composite extension (without use of xapps) is the cause
It freeze in xfce4 and in gnome
Since yeaterday, i have tried to use it with composite disabled to point find problem !!! But... i want it !!!
YES i setup correctly my xorg.conf with RENDER COMPOSITE and GLX stuff
Need help !
EDIT : I don<t know if it is important to say... but i compiled my kernel from source ! i have no problem with it !

Yes - I have used it and it works really good here. There's quite a performance hit without some higher end graphics card installed ... I have an nVIDIA GeForce2 and it works well with that card. Here's an example:

If you have an nVidia, there are a lot of driver options you can pass to your card in /etc/X11/xorg.conf that might solve the instability issuses. I had it working flawlessly on my GF2 MX-400, but it was so slooooow it wasn't worth it.
Check the README.txt from nVidia's drivers for more information.

By default if composite is enabled GLX is disabled by Nvidia's drivers.

I solve my problem by creating my own ABS package ==> DOWNGRADING

Which you actually did poorly.
gcc and make should be MAKEDEPENDS. Not dependencies.

Aren't you being a tad anal miqorz?
I have nothing to say, and I am saying it.

It looks great!, wich driver version are you using?, actually i'm using 6111 because 6629 and the latest version it doesn't work for me (freeze) . And i've got the same GeForce than you.
By the way, I'm not using composite
P.S. : This is my first post, and I'm an Arch user since 2 days ago
Arch GNU/Linux 0.7.1 (Noodle)

Did you check the original PKGBUILD before...
It is the same PBGBUILD with version change !!!

That's why I think miqorz is being anal about the issue. He seems to think otherwise though...

Hmm, I just realized that even the arch package isn't fully just a "package"..
NVidia drivers are fucking weird.

Yea uhm, gcc has to be a dep, because it's used at install time to compile the modules.
The suggestion box only accepts patches.
Offline
I wonder if there is a way around that?
Offline
cannot use it, because radeon for FireGL 7800 is not really fast and very buggy in displaying using composite
