Description Mart Raudsepp gentoo-dev 2010-05-26 17:50:35 UTC
Hello x86, please stabilize x11-drivers/xf86-video-geode-2.11.8

The current stable has a big issue with current xorg-server-1.7.x (and testing 1.8), where most ways of drawing images with XRenderComposite will result in the images not getting displayed. xf86-video-geode-2.11.8 has a patch from me to workaround this subtle EXA acceleration bug with fallbacks, and make the images be drawn again.
So without this new version, geode systems don't have images shown on toolbars, panels and in many other traditional widgets (GtkImage uses XRenderComposite) with stable xorg-server-1.7.

As this requires specific hardware (AMD Geode GX2 and/or Geode LX CPU with its integrated graphics processor), feel free to allow me to just mark it stable if necessary. I have tested this version with xorg-server-1.7.x in the past (but now everything is up to date ~x86, but have binpkgs of 1.7 around if necessary).
