This all seems very backwards. Why does a "3D" window frame need to have special hardware? You create a window and it sits there for minutes, hours, days. A button? How often do you click a button? Let the CPU do that, and give hardware assist to video, which has to decode the input and change the display 60 times a second. _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
