Steps to reproduce:
1: Obtain baby jesus.
2: Run XAA-based driver.
3: Observe salt water leaking from eyes.

Comment 1 Chris Lee 2005-03-07 14:57:27 UTC

Definitely reproducible here.

Comment 2 Daniel Stone 2005-03-07 15:01:48 UTC

He wept, and it wasn't due to laughing hard.

Comment 3 Mike A. Harris 2005-03-07 19:16:31 UTC

Confirmed by Jesus' brother Craig also.

Summary:
  * XAA sucks.
Aim:
  * 100% less suck.
Steps towards progress:
  * Remove XAA.
Optional steps:
  * Print out XAA source.
  * Set fire to XAA source.
Contra-XAA joke:
  * It's a joke in itself.

Comment 5 Eric Anholt 2005-03-07 20:29:08 UTC

Remember, every time you try to add render acceleration to an xaa driver, the
baby jesus cries.

Think of the baby jesuses.

(I should assign this one to you, ajax)

unfortunately, we have no WELOVEZACK resolution status.

Comment 9 Adam Jackson 2005-09-12 17:52:45 UTC

there comes a time in every baby jesus' life when it has to learn to write exa
support for undocumented hardware.  that time is now.
