it works for me too (http://ep09.pld-linux.org/~havner/damage.png), but
it crashes after some time when composite is enabled (6.8.1). But that's
not the point, since i've heard that composite in this release is not
meant to be finished/stable or whatever and is completely disabled by
default I don't care about it. I'm asking about 6.8 with composite
disabled. How it works for you. is there any sense to put it in ac
because of other fixes (not new features like composite).
