[Bug 13530] Re: nvidia-glx crashes/lockups

[Emmet Hikory]

It is not so much a bug in the Xorg XRender extension, so much as a bug
in the combination of the Xorg XRender extension and the NVidia binary
drivers.  As the NVidia source is closed, the Xorg developers are unable
to determine the cause of the issue and address it, and NVidia believes
it to be a Xorg bug, and has not made visible attempts to address it.
It may be that a migration to XGL will address these issues (as the
NVidia drivers may be more optimised for correct behavior with GL than
with 2D rendering), it may be that open drivers will allow the bug to be
investigated, or there may be other changes to Xorg XRender that
inadvertently avoid creating the situation responsible for this bug.  If
you must use Xorg, plesae consider disabling XRender if you are
encountering this freeze.
