The results showed very significant improvements, as did ordinary use tests (video in firefox, dvb, etc.). There does not seem to be much online information about the "blt" option even in web pages that explicitly compare "uxa" and "sna" options. This solves my problem, but the bug that led to the solution remains.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
