Hallo tj, I am experiencing the same problem. It seems to be an old story and never got fixed until now. But I found some good explanations in the following links: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9920 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2597#c52 Perhaps you can explain your problem to the last commentor of Bug 9920 which eventually responded in Feb. 2010. Good luck. _______________________________________________ xorg@lists.freedesktop.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: arch...@mail-archive.com
