The reason why you likely don't see this issue on different Linux distributions is that these take the upstream default to no longer enable the record extension.

I was wondering, why SUSE enables the record extension, which is disabled upstream meanwhile, at all. No answer given in the RPM changelog:

I was wrong. You're supposed to see this issue on any Linux distribution. commit 65a2c09549d2372c23b155addff428177708c910 Author: Yaakov Selkowitz Date: Thu Apr 8 21:55:45 2010 -0500 Revert "Disable Record by default." Record was broken during the pre-1.6 development cycle and was not fixed until 1.7.6. Now that it is fixed, re-enable it by default. Anyway, I'm going to apply the patch now to our xorg-x11-server package. -- 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.
