How do I enable backing store on my XFree86 or Xorg X11 Server?

0

By default XFree86 3.3.x has backing store enabled while XFree86 4.x.x does not. You can determine if backing store is currently enabled on your X Server by running “baudline -sysinfo”. If the value of backing store is NotUseful, then for maximum baudline performance you should add the following backing store line to your /etc/X11/XF86Config or /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and then restart your X11 Server. Here is an example snippet: Section “Device” Identifier “ATI Rage LT PRO” VendorName “Unknown” BoardName “Unknown” Driver “ati” Option “DPMS” Option “backingstore” EndSection For more information on backing store read about baudline’s -backingstore command line option.
