That is a change that Ubuntu convinced upstream to do, to get it back: Section "ServerFlags" Option "DontZap" "false" EndSection I don't know about the rest, except that disabling dri will almost certainly make things slower. It sounds like a regression that affects both drivers... I guess file a bug against one of the drivers or against xserver, they can always reassign it if they need to. Or ask on the xorg mailing list. Cheers, Kelly Clowers -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
