I haven't seen any results that confirm this. Your results seem to show that the xorg.conf change was bogus. Moreover, the X server logs show that the shadow framebuffer was never actually enabled for any mach64 test. So it's an open question. > I didn't test it for fbdev. Actually, all of your fbdev tests use the shadow framebuffer, according to the X server logs. As Michel said, that's the default for fbdev. That's all good. The shadowfb test is only relevant as a workaround for the mach64 bug. Anyway, the point I was trying to make here was simply that Xfce issues aren't necessarily X server issues (though they may be). --
