GLXProxy is a DMX-specific GLX implementation that acts as a proxy server for GLX protocol. SGI wrote this code and donated it to the DMX project. It takes advantage of any hardware accelerated indirect rendering that is already present on the back-end server to which it attaches, but it won't create hardware accelerated indirect rendering on a system that doesn't already have it. I think many of us would very much like to have hardware accelerated indirect rendering, and from time to time there has been talk of adding it to the DRI project. It's actually been on the "to do" list for the DRI project from the original design days, but it's a large project and there was little interest in funding it back when I was with PI and VA. I'm still hopeful that it will eventually happen. _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
