Bug#746562: xserver-xephyr: large screen size causes immediate exit
Package: xserver-xephyr
Version: 2:1.15.1-1
Severity: important
”Xephyr :9 -screen 4096x4096” shortly displays a black screen and exits
silently after that.
Smaller screen sizes are no problem, e.g. “Xephyr :9 -screen 4096x1024”
works as expected.
2:1.15.99.902-1 from experimental has the same problem.
This is a regression: 2:1.14.5-1 works fine, and so did all the
previous versions I used to use over the years.
(In case you’re wondering: Xephyr is useful for taking huge screenshots
from things like Google Street View. ☺)
