I'm afraid that doesn't matter. Until it's fixed in the X server, the options I see for you are basically: * Hack the video driver you use not to set the gamma_set member of xf86CrtcFuncsRec. * Use a driver that doesn't support RandR 1.2 or newer, e.g. fbdev or vesa. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://www.amd.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer _______________________________________________ xorg@lists.freedesktop.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: arch...@mail-archive.com
