exa definitely had intended to support 24bpp at one point. I deleted the code for it in 1.20 though: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/0803918e64262482035f042e5e1f2a571d3dea1b > I do not see any particular harm backporting that one line inside the > still supported X Servers. (1.16 through 1.20) The change would do nothing for 1.20, and I'm not about to do any more pre-1.20 releases. If someone else wants to, be my guest. - ajax _______________________________________________ xorg-devel@lists.x.org: X.Org development Archives: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel Info: https://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
