If there is a problem with composite the server even didn't start so it doesn't make sense to have a switch in the GUI because you will not get to that point :) - According to this I will not add such a switch in the sax2 GUI - I will enable composite in our configuration if I get the ok from the Xorg maintainer -- 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.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=343360#c3 --- Comment #3 from Sven Burmeister 2007-11-22 04:15:47 MST --- If I understood correctly composite would then be enabled automatically for certain drivers. How does the user then disable it, if one does not want to use it? The point that it would not make sense to have it in the GUI because the GUI would not start if composite fails it not valid. Just compare the current scenario and what would change if the checkbox was available. Current: User edits xorg.conf to enable composite -> it fails: user edits xorg.conf again. With checkbox: User enables composite in GUI -> it fails: user edits xorg.conf. So there is absolutely no change at all in case composite fails but a huge improvement if it works. -- 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.

Which is why I would want to disable it for this computer. Why would I want to disable 3D if it works? Yet there is a checkbox in sax2. -- 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.
