So I wouldn't worry about it. (If you had a >8bpp display, that would be a different story, but those aren't very common.) Of course, lots of programs use 32 bit offscreen surfaces, but that's a different story. --Andy > > Is there a way to solve this problem? > > Thank youv very much! > Bye. > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in > the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html >
