Problem with DGA

[James Wright]

Actually I forgot to mention that even with the old version of the nVidia closed source driver (7676)
I can't get DGA to work since i moved xorg 6.8.2 -> 6.9.0. Basically I think the XDGAOpenFrambuffer() 
call fails in 6.9.0, on both my radeon and old closed nvidia driver. I've filed a bugzilla report 
a while back;

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6153

Not sure there is a replacement for DGA.... (unless someone can enlighten me)...

Instead i have been drawing a frame into an XImage and using X[SHM]PutImage() to get the desired (if not
many times slower) effect...  :-/  


Thanks,
James
