Is there a particular reason that the DGA extension is disabled in the XF86Config file generated by xf86config? For example:

Code:

Section "Module"
# This loads the DBE extension module.
    Load        "dbe"   # Double buffer extension

# This loads the miscellaneous extensions module, and disables
# initialisation of the XFree86-DGA extension within that module.
    SubSection  "extmod"
      Option    "omit xfree86-dga"   # don't initialise the DGA extension
    EndSubSection

# This loads the Type1 and FreeType font modules
    Load        "type1"
    Load        "freetype"

# This loads the GLX module
#    Load       "glx"
EndSection


VMWare uses the extension to do full-screen access and complains when it isn't there.

some apps, like X-Chat don't like DGA, and will have border/window trash when it's enabled.
