Not by standard. "radeonhd" is a 2D-driver still in progress by opensuse.org. The official ATI-driver is 2xxx-compatible with 8.41.7, but has issues with hardware-2D. The next release shall do well, as it is said.
When released, I'll test it immediately and give a notice here. Perhaps it supports the alpha-blending ;)

Hi,
now... the ati-drivers from 8.42.3 on have full Composite-support, so the alpha-blending should be supported now.
Did anyone of the users test it?
Experiences with the new 7.11-driver? This should be included in the LMCE-Package as default, because it's supporting the kubuntu 7.10 directly from installer.

Sounds good! Looking forward to the 0710 release. Should just be support for my ESI Juli@ soundcard as well, then I'd be happy  :)

See: http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Display_Drivers on manually updating the display drivers.
