True Transparency

[Samuel Verstraete]

Even if you would ever get it to work it will be so slow you won't
enjoy it at all... get yourself a new graphical card is the only advise
i can give you... pretty much any recent nvidia, ati or integrated
intel (open source drivers!) will get you all the fancy eyecandy you're
looking for...
