In order to have some transparency effects and the compositor working without screen tearing under Xfce I added a configuration file to my system in
Code: Select all
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/
I named it 10-intel.conf and that is its content:
Code: Select all
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Graphics"
Driver "intel"
Option "TearFree" "true"
EndSection
It works perfectly after a reboot.
Now that is a little bit hacky but it gets the job done. I know in the newest iterations they fixed that problem in Xfce or you can apply OpenGL rendering in Xfconf in my case. But here we are speaking of Slackware's Xfce 4.12. Another solution would be to use an external compositor like compton and later picom.
