Description Andrew Mike 2019-01-16 21:29:35 UTC
Description of problem:
When attempting to disable the "Composite" X extension, setting "Composite" to false fails with an X warning.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.20.1-5.1.el7.x86_64

How reproducible: 100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add the following in the X configuration:

Section "Extensions"
    Option      "Composite" "false"
EndSection

2. Restart the X server.

Actual results:
Disabling the extension fails, and the warning 'Ignoring unrecognized extension "Composite"' is output in the Xorg log.

Expected results: Composite extension is disabled.


Additional info:
- Setting the following allows the composite extension to be disabled:

Section "Extensions"
    Option      "COMPOSITE" "false"
EndSection
- The attached upstream bug contains a patch which should fix the issue.
