- KWin compositing support
- ------------------------
-
- The KDE window manager, KWin, shipped with KDE 4.0 includes initial support
- for hardware-accelerated compositing effects. Due to the current immaturity of
- compositing support in KWin, Xorg, and many graphics drivers, these features are
- disabled by default.
-
- Please read the release notes for KWin 4.0 for information about compositing:

- How to enable compositing in KWin
- ---------------------------------
-
- Open System Settings and click "Desktop" under the "Look & Feel" section.
- On the "Desktop Effects" page, enable the checkbox "Enable desktop effects".
- KWin will attempt to enable compositing and display a confirmation dialog.
-
- If everything appears to be working correctly, click "Accept Configuration".
- To prevent a compositing problem from rendering the desktop unusable,
- compositing will be disabled if the changes are not confirmed within 10 seconds.
-
- If there are problems enabling compositing support, please read COMPOSITE_HOWTO.
