Bug#216933: more thoughts on the X_ChangeProperty problem



Google has one relevant hit for "BadLength (poly request too large or
internal Xlib length error) fujitsu": http://linuxquestions.org/questions/history/116108

Another Fujitsu P2110, running slackware.
X began "crashing" after he upgraded from slackare 9 to 10.

He decided that an ATI patch from http://www.retinalburn.net/linux/ was
the root of the problem. I don't know if Debian's X has a similar patch.

It might be worth a try to downgrade the X server to version 4.2.1-12 or
4.2.1-11 and see if we can track down exactly when it broke and whether
older versions avoid the problem. I first saw the problem with
4.2.1-12.1, I think. I have installed 4.2.1-11 from snapshot.debian.net
and will try it for a while or until the first BadLength crash..
