Maybe. I'm not sure if the 3D engine can reasonably accelerate the traditional X primitives and meet its pixel perfect requirements though. Also, keep in mind that even the Radeon 3D drivers use the 2D engine for things like texture uploads. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
