EXA was designed towards compositing, so it should actually be better than XAA for compiz and transparencies. Brice -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Hi David, Could you try the latest xserver-xorg-video-intel package (2:2.0.0-5 currently in experimental) and report back whether it fixes this video memory problem? Brice -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Your i945 board might have some Video RAM (not sure), but far less than 256MB for sure. See below. Do you have a setting for AGP aperture in the BIOS? How can I know that? So far I just know that it is set on the BIOS to 256 M (the maximum). Ok, that's probably it. So you have 256MB of main memory that is used by the video driver as if it was video memory. Now I have installed xserver-xorg-video-intel and xserver-xorg-video-i810, both packages. That's OK, isn't it? Yes (and xserver-xorg-video-i810 is actually useless now since it only exists to depend/bring the new -intel package). I am sending this mail only to you because I do not know if this ouput could have any confidencial information. If not, you can put it in the bug thread. Done. Nothing confidential in there :) And I don't see anything bad in your config and log (apart from AddARGBGLXVisuals which looks useless, and one allocation failure warning which seemed recovered fine). A new update of the driver (2:2.0.0-2, based on current upstream git snapshot) is currently pending in incoming (incoming.debian.org) and will enter experimental tonight. You might want to give it a try, in case it helps. Brice -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thank you for your quick reply. Is this the amount of Video RAM or regular RAM? I'm flattered. Don't overestimate my knowledge :-) How can I know that? (I said video RAM because it was what the xine maintainer claimed). Do you have a setting for AGP aperture in the BIOS? How can I know that? So far I just know that it is set on the BIOS to 256 M (the maximum). xserver-xorg-video-i810-modesetting from experimental does not work on my computer. xserver-xorg-video-i810-modesetting from unstable works OK These packages are obsoletes. xserver-xorg-video-intel still has several bugs unfortunately... Now I have installed xserver-xorg-video-intel and xserver-xorg-video-i810, both packages. That's OK, isn't it? Please send the output of /usr/share/bug/xserver-xorg-core/script 31 so that we see your config and log (after reistalling xserver-xorg-video-intel).

Package: xserver-xorg-video-i810 Version: 2:2.0.0-1 Severity: important 256 MB should be enough memory; nevertheless, Beryl is extremely slow, eg, for resizing windows. Furthermore, an AVI video cannot be played on Beryl (totem crashes), and cannot in Metacity either unless you use xine from the experimental branch (I submitted bugs #425451 and #425464 to totem and were redirected here, I propose them to be merged with the new one I am submitting now). xserver-xorg-video-i810-modesetting from experimental does not work on my computer. xserver-xorg-video-i810-modesetting from unstable works OK; Beryl is lightweight and AVIs can be played on Beryl. The only problem is that the colours inside the AVI video are horrible (all colours too yellowish, I think). -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (900, 'unstable'), (400, 'testing'), (350, 'stable'), (300, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.20-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages xserver-xorg-video-i810 depends on: ii xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.0.0-1 X.Org X server -- Intel i8xx, i9xx xserver-xorg-video-i810 recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
