This would be *possible* (with libosmesa), but the obvious problem is we could end up using openGL features that don't render properly on everyone's driver anyway (despite openGL being a standard, etc., implementations are buggy, c.f. standards like ACPI, etc.) I'm not against it in principle, just want to point out the bugs that can happen with it. > > --strk; > > On Mon, Jun 04, 2007 at 07:38:22PM +0200, strk wrote: > > On Mon, Jun 04, 2007 at 07:32:34PM +0200, strk wrote: > > > virtual bool getPixel(rgba& color_return, int x, int y); > > > virtual unsigned int getBitsPerPixel() const > > > > Ops, I forgot this: > > > > virtual bool initTestBuffer(unsigned /*width*/, unsigned /*height*/); > > > > I opened a task item for all of them: > > > > https://savannah.gnu.org/task/index.php?6979 _______________________________________________ Gnash-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnash-dev
