Thank you .

Our high school gave us the option of attending an "alternative assembly" to the main one that glorified our sports teams. High up on the wall of our cafeteria was the following banner:

Ohhh great nerdiness give us One distro to rule them all...

i'm not a nerd, get it right, i'm a geek.....

perhaps not, as Mario says "testing it would help to get it there" and OC reporting your results and patches ASAP to the upstream would help solve these things quicker

and OC the Mesa-dev -next git too has been getting lots of patches for you to test and improve speed etc so might be worth a punt and report any problems with that as well.

At least the visual corruption with compositing that is described in
these reports matches this bug very well:

< https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35452 >

The bug is in the DRI2 implementation of the x-server and should
affect any compositor when kms page flipping is enabled. x-servers
1.8, 1.9, (afaik) 1.10 x-server's would be affected. If you follow
this thread <http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-dev...ch/020716.html it points to a proposed patch by Michel Daenzer, and a
refined version by Keith Packard. I don't know if a version has
landed in master already, but testing it would help to get it there
and maybe to get it merged to 1.9 and 1.10.

Hi,

Dropping things again? You need that 'r'? It's free as in beer.

looking forward to the new release

It was going to be "Slackware 1337" or slackware elite (nudge nudge wink wink).
But, then the 2.6.38 kernel was included and now it's "slackware leeb".

I am perplexed.

leeb is just being tested.

Famous last words.

Did anyone else notice that this is now page 37 of the 13.37 release thread? Hmmm....!

Nerd alert!!

Hmmm, and I just happen to have time to spare next week . . .

Does that mean if we don't quit posting it will end up being called "leeb"?
