Hi all,
I read in the KDE
site(http://kde.org/announcements/announce-4.7-beta1.php) that the new
KDE 4.7's KWin supports OpenGl-ES 2.0.
My desktop does not suport OpenGL and so I've not been able to enable
compositing on my current version of KDE(on squeeze).
Is it possible to install OpenGL-ES on desktops and is there any chance
that ES version would work(on desks that does not support the regular
version)?
Details of my computer:
AMD athlon XP 2600+
An old Unichrome graphics card(32 Mb)
512 Mb RAM
Thanks in advance
Hello, Antony
IMHO, you should understand limitations of your hardware, while
you _may_ find hacks to enable ES support, be aware that they usually
comes under background cost of may be more power / limited resource
consumption.Well, it is upto you to choose the tradeoff.
Going to the subject of KDE, i'm not even sure of how much latency your
applications has while they run on KDE, KDE is an overkill for 512MB of
ram. Over here i have around 4 GB, KDE 4 consumes approx 400MB.
I would highly recommend using Xfce for your specs, if you are planning
to use this particular hardware as a production system.
