May I ask if you personally use a large panning desktop? Thanks for your input. It appears this bug has not gained much attention but for your information; An announcement was recently posted on an Xorg list and I asked that developer about this problem. His response was somewhat encouraging... if you are interested see the thread on `gmane.comp.freedesktop.xorg' beginning with this subject and msg-id. Subject: xorg-server 1.11.1.901 (1.11.2R C1) Message-ID: <[email protected]> Or see the thread on gmane online. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.freedesktop.xorg.announce/1473/focus=46912 _______________________________________________ [email protected]: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: [email protected]
