As far as "end user" benefits, currently there is the ability to switch between the DRM Gallium driver and softpipe with an environment variable (the DRI stack has a similar feature, but with swrast), and a reduction of X server usage/roundtrips as it doesn't make any GLX calls except for initialization.
On the developer side, it's a cleaner and simpler design than the existing DRI stack for the case of Gallium drivers, and can replace state_trackers/glx/xlib. It also serves as a second user, other than EGL, for egl_g3d's display abstraction. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Mesa3d-dev mailing list Mesa3d-dev@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mesa3d-dev
