Take http://veimages.gsfc.nasa.gov//7100/world.topo.bathy.200401.3x21600x21600.A2.jpg The image is 21600x21600 pixels. At 4 bytes per pixel (which is the preferred format for 24bpp images for alignment I guess) the size of the image is exactly 1866240000 - the size of the pixmap that failed to allocate. Rounding the dimension at 20k gives 1.5G underestimate of the size. Thanks Michal -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
