Re: Xorg and DRI on Pismo

[Peter Plessas <plessas@mur.at>]

Hi all!

Thanks very much for your help with this issue.

As suggested by Micel Daenzer, switching to a color depth of 16 helped, 
DRI is enabled, my opengl apps running fine again.

So there must be something (i guess inside xorg) that makes it want more 
memory as Ben already expected.

This time being it works fine for me, so it's no longer a critical 
issue, although i am not sure where there difference between 16bit and 
24bit is in everyday use (sounds stupid but i don't see any difference).
It's just a bit weird when things are stopping to work after an upgrade 
or migration.

Thanks again, have a nice time!

cheers,
Peter
