RE: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Shadow Framebuffer Test 3

["Kevin Wright" <kevin at wright dot org>]

Harold,

Just wanted to report a "me too" wrt the latest XWin.exe.

winCreateB... () - Adjusted width: 800 height: 600
winScreenInit () - Allocating shadow fb failed
error opening security policy file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy
      0 [main] XWin 619 handle_exceptions: Exception:
STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION
   1737 [main] XWin 619 stackdump: Dumping stack trace to XWin.exe.stackdump
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I also have a DELL Latitude (mine is a CPx which means it has an ATI
video card). I do have the latest video drivers. I'll try to see
if I can debug the problem and send more information.
