I think this will change with RANDR 1.3 - hopefully. So either you can change your display setup on-the-fly or use DRI. I'm rather reluctant to change this for ppc. Probably nobody expects DRI to work on ppc, and even if it does I'm sure you'll see crashes due to DRI soon. Unless we have a big customer, who wants to have this enabled by default I set this to WONTFIX. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

But with 3840x1200 you need to need to have about 64MB available for DRI support (24bit color depth, double buffer, zBuffer, texture buffer, ...). So with 32MB or even less you're lost here. Hope this helps. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

My G5 happens to have 64MB, but that does not count because its not a laptop. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
