Weird, I thought it was hardware-specific, but when even replaying the trace to
the image backend produces this result...
Shouldn't traces be backend-independent?

Don't worry and sorry for my slow reaction.

Don't ask me what the "proper" way is. I unpacked the traces with unxz and ran
them through perf/cairo-perf-trace (Just give it the path to the trace as its
argument). That way I got the error messages.

For getting some images out, I experimented with util/cairo-script/csi-exec and
csi-replay. I noticed that running one of the examples left a file "out.png"
behind, so I grepped for that and noticed that the samples in examples/ have a
line like this:

/target get (out.png) write-to-png pop

I added that to your firefox-xcb-trace in front of the last pop.


Let's hope that the almighty Chris knows an easier way for this and enlightens
us mere mortals. ;-)

Cheers,
Uli
