What problem? If I remember correctly --strict-binding was made default in 0.3.6 and you have to pass --loose-binding to get more efficient behavior that was default before. Could this be related? I don't think the __GL_YIELD trick will ever make a difference if you use indirect rendering. - David _______________________________________________ compiz mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/compiz
