I'm try for the second time use Arch Linux.

In this installation I get:

  • openbox
  • tint2
  • compton
  • catalyst-hook (Vi0L0's)

After starting the compton, I can not see what I'm typing in the terminal, videos (flash/html) freeze in fullscreen, teamviewer stops working and resize any window is extremely slow.

If I kill compton, everything it's work BUT resize keep slow.

How can I fix that?

~/config/compton.conf

backend = "glx";
paint-on-overlay = true;
glx-no-stencil = true;
glx-no-rebind-pixmap = true;
refresh-rate = "60";
vsync="none"

# Shadow
shadow = false;
no-dock-shadow = true;     # Avoid drawing shadows on dock/panel windows.
no-dnd-shadow = true;  # Don't draw shadows on DND windows.
shadow-exclude = [ "n:w:*Firefox*" ]; # Not sure what it does or if it works

# Fading
fading = false;
no-fading-openclose = true

/etc/X11/xorg.conf

I have an ATI Radeon HD 6310.

This are the compton.conf settings I use:

backend = "glx";
paint-on-overlay = false;
glx-no-stencil = true;
refresh-rate = 0;
vsync = "opengl-mswc";

They work very well. Maybe they help you too?
