Building a new snapshot against current X server resolved the problem. Thanks Michal -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Current upstream Git master branch uses EXA by default, but not the 6.12 branch. I doubt it was ever used by default in a Debian package, so either you chose it explicitly or rotation happened to be usable without rotation somehow. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer |http://www.vmware.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
