--- Comment #10 from Felipe Contreras
Perhaps bandaids for specific cases would but ultimately the root of the problem is the X server's inability to change virtual as required.
For one on Intel the video overlay size seems to be limited by the virtual size (or it is just incidentally the same?) so changing the virtual to larger one when a large video playback is requested would be desirable.
Unfortunately X cannot do that.
It would definitely be nice to have that, but that's no excuse to have this bad behaviour. Lots of things can be done, if the driver find outs the virtual size is too big, well then why not change the virtual size? If you want to be puristic and avoid workarounds then disable EXA when the virtual size is too big, or fail completely and return an error. Having the user wondering why on earth everything is so painfully is low is Not Good(tm). -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug. _______________________________________________ xorg-team mailing list xorg-team@lists.x.org http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-team -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: radeonhd+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: radeonhd+help@opensuse.org
