The biggest roadblock is the pending DRI2 rework, and porting the radeon

Not per se - I'm typing this on a PowerBook running compiz with some
partially translucent ARGB8888 windows. :) I'm using more or less
current Git snapshots though, but this has been working at least since
xserver 1.3 or thereabouts. We'd need to get more information about this
problem.
