I think that the latest Solaris X has Xrender. Moreover, I do not think XRender causes performance pbs. When you have to render a png with an alpha channel you have to know the "image" on which the png will be applied. Without Xrender under certain condition this leads to a XGetImage and a XPutImage and this can cause performance pbs. With Xrender this is done internally in the server (no communication with the server). So XRender speedup things even with an X driver without special accel for it. The following may help me: - can you send me the output of xdpyinfo. - do you have pbs with the icons/mini-icons provided by GNOME2 applications or/and when you load a png for using it in fvwm (e.g., MenuStyle * MenuFace a_png_image)?
