As a web developer I can tell you asking for better XRender support is like asking Microsoft for better web standards support. Sure it might happen at some point in time. The point is XRender is close to its tenth birthday yet still no one seems to care. That's why I think GL is the way to go. Hardware/driver ISVs care about GL as it's equal to game performance. -- Patryk Zawadzki PLD Linux Distribution _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
