... lack of support for BIG-REQUESTS ... working on a solution...
I tried the easy "cheat" ways:
- Turn off support for that extension in the X server, e.g. with
some settings in xorg.conf. But that does not seem to work, e.g.:
psz@como:~$ Xorg -extension BIG-REQUESTS
[mi] Extension "BIG-REQUESTS" is not recognized
[mi] Only the following extensions can be run-time disabled:
...
- Get dxpc to "fudge" any ListExtensions responses or QueryExtension
requests, by changing BIG-REQU into something unknown. That did not
work: I see texworks doing QueryExtension, but then it makes big
requests even though surely(?) it did not get confirmation.
Seems I will need to actually (properly) support BIG-REQUESTS in dxpc.
Unfortunately I see many places where it encodes sizes into 16 bits, all
those (and the corresponding decodes) would need to be changed.
