OK¸so SNA is prone to break.
I disabled SNA at compile time, it caused me too much trouble for too little
gain.
No idea what changed - any pointers to Chris's post(s) ?
It was on irc.
Thanks, that will be why google could not find it ;)
To paraphrase: the default SNA acceleration is prone to break.
I've obviously been lucky that it has worked until now in my
builds.
I wonder why development has stalled. There have been no development releases
if the Intel driver since mid-December. There were 6 earlier releases 2014.
