Hi,
Sorry, I am late ... but please tag compiz-0.8.2-10.fc12 for F12 alpha.
It enables direct-rendering and page flipping by default, which should result into tearing free animations on Intel hardware.
Other hardware should not be affected (they will still have tearing until they implement the needed ioctl, but will still work).
Getting this into the alpha allows us to get feedback and testing, so that we can either fix bugs that show up or revert it if needed.
On the one hand, not a critical path package. On the other hand, enabling new use of graphics feature that just landed a few days ago screams "will cause regressions, crashes, and lockups somewhere" to me.
Replying to [comment:1 notting]:
Yeah that is exactly the point, we need testing on a wider range of hardware to find out about "regressions, crashes, and lockups" and either fix them or revert the change and try again for F13.
Given that it's not critical path, and we don't enable compiz by default, I'm +1 on this. I mean we've got compiz broken in F11 for intel at least now, why should rawhide be any different?
OK. Tagged, prepare for imapct.
