Initial commit was: | commit 6a6d907e77777057cadbd80572119c09732385cd | Author: Tiago Vignatti <tiago.vigna...@nokia.com> | Date: Fri Dec 17 16:09:35 2010 +0200 | | randr: check for virtual size limits before set crtc | | Return a error if the screen is configured to an invalid size. | | Signed-off-by: Tiago Vignatti <tiago.vigna...@nokia.com> | Reviewed-by: Adam Jackson <a...@redhat.com> | Reviewed-by: Daniel Stone <dan...@fooishbar.org> | Signed-off-by: Keith Packard <kei...@keithp.com> | (cherry picked from commit d1107918d4626268803b54033a07405122278e7f) I'd call it “just a sanity check”. AFAICT, nvidia might need some fixing WRT virtual stuff, but breaking something (previously working) in a stable branch is bad, that's why Julien reverted it upstream in server-1.7-branch: http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-xorg/xserver/xorg-server.git;a=commit;h=d77ffa918b2aaa3ca1deb17ed0145199d0f863da KiBi.
