We have GPU-accelerated alpha compositing on the XO, so we could do the current animation using almost no CPU cycles. It's just a question of figuring out how to access that compositing. As far as I'm aware, no effort in this direction has been made. I don't know if "composite" here requires the use of "Composite" in the window manager or not; my knowledge of X is minimal. - --Ben -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkkCPQAACgkQUJT6e6HFtqSlSwCfVrZfVFFUqbwgBuLJCckGmHDc S40An2vtXMot6/rz9YmceB38geDaQhH4 =aOse -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
