Steps to reproduce:

Definitely reproducible here.

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

Confirmed by Jesus' brother Craig also.

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)
Comment 6 Adam Jackson 2005-03-07 20:45:55 UTC 
wasn't planning on it.  my fingers can't take the abuse of typing
XAASetupForCPU... anymore.
Comment 8 Daniel Stone 2005-06-27 06:19:41 UTC 
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.
