[Pkg-blender-maintainers] Bug#425082: blender ought not to crash if GARTSize is too small

[Alban Browaeys]

Package: blender
Version: 2.44-1
Severity: wishlist

While rendering if GARTSize is not set to 64 manually in xorg.conf
blender crash if the scene to render is too big. Could it shows a
warning and stop the rendering if so instead of crashing (and loosing
the changes made to the scene) ?

Regards
Alban
