Composite Manager Failure - KDialog Error during logon

[Captpete]

I'm getting the message popups below when I logon. I had been making some changes to my KDE desktop. How do I correct for this and make the messages stop showing up during logon?


Dialog Box Title = Composite Manager Failure - KDialog <2>
Message = The Composite Manager crashed twice within a minute and is therefore disabled for this session.


Dialog Box Title = Composite Manager Failure - KDialog

You must use XOrg >/= 6.8 for translucency and shadows to work. Additionally, you need to add a new section to your X config file:
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection

Thanks

I fixed the problem by following the information below from a post on another forum. However, KDE seems to run slower now. I click on the little blue Fedora button on the task bar and the popup menu pops up slower. I select a menu item from the list and the pop out menu seems to draw a little slower. Any thoughts?

this means that, after installing libxdamage-devel, libxrender-devel, libxcomposite-devel, add the lines that i've given below(highlighted in bold) to your xorg.conf file.

wait until you've installed dapper drake. that uses xorg 7.0.

go to the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, make a backup of it, then add the files above to the bottom of the file.
