NoAccel turns off all XAA optimizations, waay down at the hardware driver level of the X server. The "batching" you are referring to happens "on the wire" between the X client and the X server (or rather, in the code that handles the communication between client and server). This is at a completely different level of X11, and that code isn't changing much in XFree86. I don't think there's a general way to disable it, although many clients provide a "-sync" option which causes them to insert an XSync function call in their protocol stream. I doubt that the request batching code is your problem, though. I'd be looking at OS-level and driver-level issues. Does it still happen if the X client is remote? (You might be able to test this by ssh'ing to localhost.) What if you turn on ShadowFB with 'Option "ShadowFB" "on"' (I think that's the right syntax)? -andy _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
