This causes application crashes in Firefox and Moonlight (at the very least) as we try to create pixmaps > 8188 bytes wide. I've attached a patch which fixes the issue of the application crashes, however the greater issue is how such a major change could even be contemplated for an update release and wasn't pushed to 11.1. Changing the AccelMode of a driver is not a trivial change as it forces applications to go thru new, untested codepaths (as seen), and will have possibly dramatic performance impacts or application crash Bug #400788 is the relevent reference bug for the decision process to enable EXA mid-release. -- 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.
