It works !!!
Cairo-Dock with OpenGL support seems to be fully supported since 13 Aug 2009 with the last Intel free drivers (>= 2:2.8.0) and the last release of Mesa (>= 7.6) even on an Eeepc701 while having multiple visual effects and remains fluid! (e.g. on Ubuntu Karmic, Fedora 12, Debian Sid, etc.)



A white background? Sore applets are invisible into the dock?
Yes, there still are some bugs (but always with a workaround ).
Have a look to a bug in lp and don't hesitate to confirm it ! => # 428900.
  • You can try with the indirect mode :
    cairo-dock -o -i
  • Set transparent applets out of the dock
  • Select an image as a background and put the transparency as 0
  • (...)



Ubuntu
From Karmic all will works out of the box!
But it seems that it's works too if you are on Jaunty by adding a new repository: Xorg Edgers ppa. But it's much recommended to upgrade your system to Karmic! So be aware

Repository
  • Edit this file /etc/apt/sources.list => e.g :
    sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
  • Add this repository at the end of this file:
    deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/xorg-edgers/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
    deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/xorg-edgers/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
    You can close your editor
  • Add the repository key:
    sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 0x165d673674a995b3e64bf0cf4f191a5a8844c542

Installation
  • Update the APT list and install latest rev of Intel free drivers and Mesa:
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
  • Reboot your session and pray that it works! :-D
