Anybody managed to port this to xorg-server-1.12.1 (which is what's in xorg-7.7-RC1) ? I thought I'd managed to apply it by hand, but it failed to compile (barfed at the 'else' at the beginning of the 5th hunk, probably imbalanced parentheses). FWIW, on my radeon (some sort of r600) the fixes in debian's xorg-xserver-video-ati_6.14.4-2.diff.gz which are taken from the various patches in that bug *appear* to solve the problem. Without them, firefox-12 using system cairo was unusable. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
