it will still be useful IMNSHO to have a 'smart' framebuffer that can do image resizing and compositing itself instead of doing that on the CPU. So the open-graphics card will still be useful.
Agreed -- having the CPU do everything makes even simple operations (e.g., translating an image) painfully slow.
The first open graphics card *won't* try to implement an entire 3D pipeline, in particular there's no hardware T&L
So, it's OpenGL stuff does 2D and 3D without the gimmicks? Sounds perfect. _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
