Thanks Ray.

That got it working for me.  It doesn't cause any major issues or anything, but it seemed to die on its own a couple times (just showing a normal GNOME desktop without shadows).  Rerunning spififity after that brought it back up.  On my Radeon 9000 it's kind of slow.  I was wondering if anything can be done to make it faster?

My xorg.conf options are:

Option      "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps"
Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "1"
Option "RenderAccel" "yes"
Option "AccelMethod" "xaa"

I tried exa, but that made it seem even slower.  Should I consider ATI's proprietary drivers?  Is there any other flag worth trying?

Thanks for the help.  It's pretty cool.

So with the latest rawhide, gdm's configuration file has moved to
/etc/gdm/custom.conf

Add something like this to it:

[servers]
0=Xair

[server-Xair]
name=Accelerated Indirect server
command=/usr/bin/Xair -audit 0

If you already have a [servers] section, change what's already there
instead of adding a second entry (but still add the [server-Xair]
section.


Then run /usr/sbin/gdm-restart as root

Note, it appears all x86-64 users get the white boxes no matter what.
That bug is being worked on.
