I suppose that this is not a bug, but that X.Org is translating the
image to
a bitmap, thus growing itself in size. I made this test:
I had this JPEG image:
-rw------- 1 ender ender 132873 sep 7 11:49 orbes.jpg
Then converted with Gimp to a bitmap, and:
-rw-r--r-- 1 ender ender 2359350 sep 7 11:51 orbes.bmp
-rw------- 1 ender ender 132873 sep 7 11:49 orbes.jpg
It was a 1024x768 image. It resulted between 2 and 3 MB.
Could anybody from debian-x confirm my suspicions that this is normal
behavior before closing this bug?
Best regards,
Ender.
