Bug#289328: retitling and changing severity of 289328



retitle 289328 xserver-xfree86: [tdfx] want config option to let Voodoo Banshee users live dangerously, enabling DRI at large root window resolutions
severity 298328 wishlist
tag 298328 + upstream
thanks

Per the discussion earlier in this bug, an option should be added to let
Voodoo Banshee users live dangerously.  There may exist some Diamond
Monster Fusion cards (based on the Voodoo Banshee chipset) that don't
exhibit stability problems, and some users may not actually attempt
full-screen DRI.

Patch #035 can be updated to include this functionality, as the existing
patch is not on the X.Org X11 CVS trunk as of today (2005-03-29).

035_tdfx_disable_dri_on_16mb_with_highres.diff

Implementation note: check to see if a "ForceDRI" option is really needed;
the regular "DRI" option's value as configured might be available, or it
might be set to its default value (on) and we won't know what the user said
in the config file at the point this code would execute.
