Oh. You're misunderstanding something here. You're starting with a JPEG which is worthless to the card. A more fair example would be to take an uncompressed TGA or TIFF or PNG, convert it to JPEG, and convert it back. The final image will be the same size as the original, but it will have worse quality. -- Tell that to the Marines! _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
