It generally isn't possible and isn't worth it. Pingpong between hw and sw renderers and the fact that sw renderers are slow makes it unlikely you could do something like this practically. Either run a sw renderer, or get a better gpu. Dave. _______________________________________________ mesa-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev
