Hi, 

as far as I understand a pixmap has to have a certain size in order that the 
X server puts it in the gfx card offscreen memory rather than into main 
memory. I read a bit in the X sources and this seems to be decided on 
whether it fits into a offscreen cell, which are allocated as 64x64, 128x128 
and 256x256. is this true ? 

so what special minimum / maximum size or other requirements must a pixmap 
have so that the X server puts it into offscreen memory ? 

Any expert around? Keith ? 


Dirk
