Peter, You will mainly get two problems: 1) If you alter the cliprects of a 3D window, like partly covering it with another window, each update of the 3D window will trigger a software readback, which will make things slow. 2) There is no guarantee that the kernel can fulfill large user-space requests for DMA bufffers, so you might run into problems with apps with large DMA buffer requirements. Like specviewperf for example. Otherwise I think it should work, but we haven't really tried. /Thomas ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
