Alan,
I have been running a test case and using gdb on Xorg to find out where
the BadAlloc
comes from.
In exa.c line 226 the code imposes a width limit of 32767.
But on line 256 this code imposes a width limit of 8188.
if (pExaPixmap->fb_pitch > 32767) {
fbDestroyPixmap(pPixmap);
return NULL;
}
Why is the second check required at all?
If it is required then is the fix to change the code to this?
if ((pExaPixmap->fb_pitch/4)-1 > 32767) {
(without the -1 the limit is 32764).
Barry
