Hello Angelo, Question to the mailing list readers: is it ok to post an xfree86 or xorg patch in this mailing list (about 9KiB), or would it be better to mail that patch to Angelo directly? Thanks.

The major changes are inside programs/Xserver/miext/shadow/shpacked.c of either the xorg or xfree86 version of the X server. The swap is done when copying the data from the shadow buffer to the video memory. Another place is programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/fbdev/fbdev.c, but here we just setup the Screen correctly, so our new swapping shadow buffer update route will be used. > >This was on the 2.4.25 from DENX and with Xfree86. > > Sorry but i don't understand this sentence. We were using Linux 2.4.25 for the PowerPC from DENX and the XFree86 X Server. The kernel version shouldn't be a problem at all, and I think the patches should work on either X Server version, Xorg or Xfree86.
