It has also been merged into Xserver-1.17, much like Glamor was to 1.16 so I propose that you postpone the addition (just to avoid the unnecessary work). As for glxgears, I suppose it was using one of 3 cpu accelerated drivers (llvmpipe, softpipe or swrast). If you are to stick with this driver (I highly recommend vmware GPU as the driver is currently superior to anything else but it's stuck on OGL 2.x whereas LLVMPipe and Softpipe are on OGL 3.3 I believe), make sure you build LLVMPipe, as it's the faster of 3 software rasterizers and is enough for non intensive tasks. > > ĸen > -- Note: My last name is not Krejzi.
