I want to point out this is not an option for the average user nor is it an option to turn off virtual address "on the fly". The average user will not recompile code; only if we are lucky will he use a flag to disable or enable an option, as long as it is easily accessible. You are taking the point of view of a dev or, at best, a tester willing to go beyond testing the code as it is. I know I can run a 3.2 kernel, I know I can compile a different version or bisect or submit patches, I know I can switch from Gnome Shell to another window manager without fancy effects or that I can disable options if I follow your advise. But this is not accessible to the average user. Please, consider another option for the average users that will use compiled code available soon. Meanwhile, I'm still completly dedicated in solving this issue if I can do anything else. I'm sure other people following this bug are also willing to go further to help you fix this issue. Can we provide you with something more? apitrace, register states? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
