Well Lorenzo, this was always my argument when I've started to write the GAL .. Today even the Raspberry Pi 2 for 30 Euro has a GPU for OpenGL (ES 2.0). Greetings, Torsten

That means we’re not adding a huge entry barrier with the OpenGL implementation.

CPU power is slightly better but the GPU is not a 'classic' i915 but an HD one. Performance on the opengl view is *waaaay* better; this time opengl is better than xlib drawing. (the reason is that in the HD GPUs shaders are run on the GPU, not in the mesa library :D) So I'd say that Intel's GPUs are now adequate, if you have at least an HD one. -- Lorenzo Marcantonio Logos Srl _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected][[email protected]] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers[https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers] More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp[https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp] _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers[https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers] Post to : [email protected][[email protected]] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers[https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers] More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp[https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp] _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers[https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers] Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers[https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers] More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp[https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp] _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
