[Xpert]Disabling video card stored pixmaps
A few months ago I asked about slow XCopyArea() calls and the response was that they were due to having one pixmap in the video card's memory and one in system memory. Switching all pixmaps to shared memory pixmaps fixed the problem. Now, we need a remote capable solution. :) Would something as simple as specifying the amount of video ram to be only slightly higher than the fbbpp * resolution be valid or would this screw up hardware cursor and other things? Ideally, we'd like to fix this on the client (code), but a server side hack is not out of the question. Any ideas?
