Did you test with Intel (Tungsten) GPUs?

It somewhat bothers me since opengl deprecated logical ops... the xor could be avoided with a pbuffer and only redrawing stuff, but layer overlays with 'arithmetic' transparency simply suck. Try gerbv with cairo, it saturates almost immediately... -- Lorenzo Marcantonio Logos Srl _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
