I was going to guess something like 'because there can't be backing store for direct rendered windows?', but are you actually sure about this? I just started a server with DRI enabled and +bs, and both the log and xdpyinfo indicated that backing store was enabled. If you have more questions about backing store, you should probably post to Xpert. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: viaVerio will pay you up to $1,000 for every account that you consolidate with us. http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;4749864;7604308;v? http://www.viaverio.com/consolidator/osdn.cfm _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
