Looks like libraries (Xext among others) already support the XGE extension: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.freedesktop.xorg/36483 but the current the 1.5 Xorg server does not support and the 1.6 release is behind schedule a bit: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Njg4OA I keep getting this error after upgrade of X today but everything works as usual. > Then firefox3 freezes forever, showing something like the background or > pixel remnants of windows/picograms moving over its window.
