[e-users] Compositing, performance and menu problems

Hello,

I have just built yesterday Enlightenment on my Debian/iBook G4 using
the packages provided at:
http://download.enlightenment.org/snapshots/2008-01-25/

They built without problems, and I am using them finely, but I have a
few issues I’d like some feedback on, to see if they can be improved.

- Compositing: There is a “enable composite” option in Configuration >
Advanced > Engine. Whenever I turn it on, E protests saying that my
current screen does not support composite. This is odd, since XFWM4
and Compiz do work on my system without problem.

- Shadows: E only draws window shadows on the desktop, but not of one
window over the rest. Is this the intended behavior? Is there a way to
have it draw shadows the way Compiz or XFWM4 do?

- Menus: The application menu is empty. However, previous
(prepackaged) versions of E17 I had tried did display the usual Debian
application menu.

- Performance: Changing desktops is slow and not very smooth (even
without animations… although the animation looks too nice not to try
and have it turned on). I thought that perhaps this would improve
having composite enabled.

Apart from these issues (which are not critical nor affect too much
usability or stability), E17 seems to be working wonderfully. I am
really impressed with the great work put into it — congratulations
and thanks to the dev team!

If its caused by color depth, you could try restarting the xserver in a
lower color.

Unfortunately, thats quite a bit of work for playing a game.

Is the game freely available so that others can try running it?

[Wine] Panzer General II

Hi all,

Panzer General II has been reported to work fine here :
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=947

I get exactly the same problem that the one which is described here :
http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-users/2007-March/026538.html

I use Fedora 8, and all my RPM are up-to-date and official.
I use wine-0.9.54-1.fc8

This bug seems to be exactly the same I got running Panzer General
under Win XP, without having activated the “Win 95/98 compatibility mode”.
But even if I say to Wine to emulate Win 95 or 98, it fails.

Thanx if you can help me.

Martial
