No, both KDE and GNOME have composition disabled by default. On KDE, you
need to go to Computer/System Settings/Desktop and then "Enable Desktop
Eff3cts". You might need to click on the "Advanced" tab, and choose
XRender instead of Open GL (and maybe also tick "Disable Functionality
checks").

Hmmm, that's interesting. I think I never got Open GL working on
nouveau, even on baremetal (I tested via KDE -- see above).

No worries, 3D desktop effects are overrated ;) All I want is "Expose" :)

I know it's offtopic, but anybody tried Xorg 1.8.0 on Intel HD? I
crashes every 5 minutes or so, when one enables composition in KDE. And
this happens on baremetal F13 too!

What is the fundamental difference in S3 sleep support between pvops0
vs. xenlinux, which seems to support S3 sleep quite well. At least the
2.6.34-xenlinux, the one from OpenSUSE? Or is it just the .34 kernel,
that apparently is said to have lots of S3 sleep improvements?
