if Gem was doing like most of you suggest, there would need to have separate objects for hardware accelerated rendering and software rendering. e.g. [Gem.sw.cube] vs [Gem.hw.cube], [Gem.sw.translate] vs [Gem.hw.translate] and so on. now this might be interesting in some cases (i remember a feature request for sw-rendering in an environment with hw acceleration), but in general, i'm sure that i would not want to have to rewrite every single patch i developed on my prehistoric netbook to be able to run at the final target architecture.
Of course not. But what about a configuration option that allows you to choose sw rendering? Maybe a message to [gemwin], or some options you could set somewhere at startup?
e.g. the user of Gem doesn't really know whether hw acceleration will be available.
That's bad indeed. Sometimes it happened to me that on some machine the rendering was slow like hell, so most likely for some reason the hardware was not detected correctly and software rendering was being used, but I had no way to be sure of that.
Couldn't GEM simply print out a message telling whether hardware acceleration is available or not??
