Redhat has the same issue, assigning to x11.

Let's follow it upstream.

I know that this is fixed in 6.8.* of xorg-x11, but that is no alternative for me (I'm stuck with a Radeon and ATIs drivers still don't work with newer xorg-x11 rleases). Are there any plans on backporting this to 6.7.latest?

http://www.rage3d.com/board/showpost.php?p=1333407704&postcount=159 shows that you don't have long to wait.

Also, you're welcome to switch to the open-source radeon driver when you need to edit XPM images.

Niiice. Thanks for the heads up, Donnie. I think Xpm editing can wait 'til Mid-January :)

Just a FYI: tomorrow (Jan 17), the should be a new driver release from ATI:

This should be fixed for all current X versions.

[Comment 10 Joshua Baergen (RETIRED) 2005-11-20 12:36:02 UTC]

Marking fixed.
