Hello All, I have also tried enabling ROOTLESS macro in Xfbdev code. Still I do not get transparent background. I need to see the background video (running on a different plane), while Xserver is running X-apps, hence I need to have the transparent bacground such that Xapps will be seen and in remaining area background video will be seen. Can anyone suggest me how to set transparent background for Xfbdev server asap?

In InitRootWindow() function, I tried setting pWin->background.pixel = 0x0000FF00; //argb (a-00 r-00 g-ff b-00). This sets the background as green and seems like the alpha is not used. Could anyone tell me the place in XOrg to set Xfbdev background to transparent? Thanks and Regards, Vrushali </blockquote></div>
