$NetBSD: patch-aa,v 1.1 2008/01/29 03:50:26 bjs Exp $ libXdamage incorrectly encodes/decodes the 'More' field from the event. The client library for xdamage currently fails to fill in the 'more' field. As a result, you get whatever uninitialised junk was there before. The server sets the high bit of 'level' when there is 'more' (DamageNotifyMore = 0x80). A patch follows to fix the client library.
