A GL compositing manager can always be accelerated on Xgl. FBOs are not required but they're needed to accelerate drawing to redirected windows. Most normal apps run fine without acceleration but XVideo and GLX apps needs it for decent performance. Xgl has no driver requirements for GLX_EXT_tfp. GLX_EXT_tfp is always supported on Xgl. GL_ARB_texture_rectangle or GL_ARB_texture_non_power_of_two should be supported to make it useful for the compositing manager, though. -David ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
