One thing OpenGL has going for it is portability and availability. There was some wiki mention of interest in one of the embedded subset OpenGL implementations. Did anything ever come from that? The slowness is only relative to modern GPU speed. For a lot of applications, using the 3D framework with the simpler geometries and more image-oriented, a software OpenGL can be quite acceptable. --Chris > I am going to work with Fedora to get the swrast module separated from > the overweight mesa-dri-drivers - this could return in future if we need it. > > Sorry for any inconvenience, this was the most straightforward way of > getting a working X and a working keyboard again. > > Daniel > _______________________________________________ > Devel mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel > > > _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
