Thanks for the notice. I just enabled PageFlip again and did a quick
test (running /usr/lib/xscreensaver/gears and causing some OSD action in
front of it). Without PageFlip I noticed that gears continued to run
just fine while with PageFlip on it slowed down considerably, but did
not crash. I will keep this setting now for a while and see if it is
indeed stable.
So I guess that bug #385366 might be fixed. Bug #386989 needs some more
testing with 3D apps.
By the way: Which setting is supposed to be better (as in faster)?
PageFlip on or off?
Thanks for your patience,
Joachim
