Hi Brice --
I finally got around to upgrading my laptop (ATI M6LY)'s install of
sid, and found that this is *not* a problem in the mga driver. It's a
problem in some other random xorg component, presumably
libxcomposite1.
To work around it, I have to disable both the Composite extension and
AIGLX -- it seems that with only one disabled the other caused it to
be re-enabled.
(Any suggestions on tracing down what's actually wrong?)
(e.g.
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "disable"
EndSection
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AIGLX" "no"
EndSection
)
So I guess that means this bug should either be moved to a different
package or closed.
Anyway, thanks for your assistance!
