Previously we try to keep the image data until the rebind succeeds. This way even if the rebind fails, we still have something to display. But that triggers a NVIDIA driver bug. Basically you cannot have more than one names (XIDs) of a window pixmap. NVIDIA driver doesn't like that, and binding the pixmap with its aliases will fail. This can sometimes happen if we name the new pixmap before freeing the old one during rebind, and the pixmap doesn't actually change (i.e. the rebind is unnecessary, could happen because of X event handling complications).

Compton
This is a development branch, bug to be expected
This is forked from the original Compton because that seems to have become unmaintained.
The current battle plan of this fork is to refactor it to make the code possible to maintain, so potential contributors won't be scared away when they take a look at the code.
We also try to fix bugs.
The original README can be found here

Build
Dependencies
Assuming you already have all the usual building tools installed (e.g. gcc, meson, ninja, etc.), you still need:
- libx11
- libx11-xcb
- libXext
- xproto
- xcb
- xcb-damage
- xcb-xfixes
- xcb-shape
- xcb-renderutil
- xcb-render
- xcb-randr
- xcb-composite
- xcb-image
- xcb-present
- xcb-xinerama (optional, disable with the
-Dxinerama=false
meson configure flag) - pixman
- libdbus (optional, disable with the
-Ddbus=false
meson configure flag) - libconfig (optional, disable with the
-Dconfig_file=false
meson configure flag) - libxdg-basedir (optional, disable with the
-Dconfig_file=false
meson configure flag) - libGL (optional, disable with the
-Dopengl=false
meson configure flag) - libpcre (optional, disable with the
-Dregex=false
meson configure flag) - libev
To build the documents, you need asciidoc
To build
$ meson --buildtype=release . build
$ ninja -C build
Built binary can be found in build/src
To install
$ ninja -C build install
Default install prefix is /usr/local
, you can change it with meson configure -Dprefix=<path> build
