I am using picom and have window shadows enabled. This worked perfectly up until around kernel 5.8.3, where shadows don’t work any more when running linux-zen
. Transparency blurring still works, compositing still works, it’s just the shadows.
Tried with linux=5.8.5
and shadows work, reboot into linux-zen=5.8.5
and no shadows.
This happens with both my X230 (Intel, modesetting
) and GL702ZC (AMD, amdgpu
) so it doesn’t look hardware-related, and the picom.conf
file is the same on both and hasn’t changed since it worked last.
Edit:
OK, so it doesn’t work (now?) with either 5.8.5 kernel on GL702ZC. Confused.
Edit:
Now it’s working with both on my X230. I haven’t made any changes.
