Created attachment 54205 [details] Corrupted notebook screen (strip at the right) Photograph of my laptop screen that has a strip at the right with content of external screen. Although the photograph is a bit out of focus the vertical strip at the right of the clock, cpu temperature and cpu load widgets is clearly visible.

Idea on how to implement: add RequiresOpenGL=true RequiresARBShaders=true RequiresGLSL=true to the service files. Whenever the KCM notices that an effect fails it queries the service file and adds one of the following messages in a KMessageWidget: * "Effect Foo requires OpenGL Compositing." * "Effect Foo requires OpenGL Shaders." * "Effect Foo requires OpenGL 2 Compositing." * "Effect Foo could not be activated due to unknown reason" As we have already the information when an effect could not be activated, I'll try to target 4.9
Git commit 5978810cd7ab481ceb2a716bee69af5013126eb8 by Martin Gräßlin. Committed on 04/05/2012 at 11:13. Pushed by graesslin into branch 'master'. Show detailed information why an effect cannot be loaded Effects can specify their minimum requirements in their desktop file: * OpenGL * OpenGL 2 (GLSL required) * Shaders (either ARB or OpenGL 2) The configuration module uses this information in combination with which backend KWin is currently using. So if e.g. OpenGL is used and an effect requires OpenGL 2 a detailed error message can be showed that OpenGL 2 is required.
