Hi Robert,
Sorry to be a pest, I realize you have plenty of other issues to contend
with atm, just wondering whether you have some ideas on what may be
causing the issue I am experiencing when enabling DRI? I have disabled
DRI for the time being because of the trailing mess that gets left
behind on the screen when I drag windows on the screen.
have there been any updates to the DRM code?
