I thought the interest was for better looking text and graphics. I think it's a reasonable goal to move intelligence out of the server: let clients do high-quality compositing with better precision if desired, and only do in the server what is accellerated in the hardware. At least, this seems to be your goal. I think Owen's goal (and I ran with it) was to put more intelligence in the server to at least let it be more correct where appropriate, even if this means going above and beyond hardware capabilities. I guess the alternative is to let Xft do its own compositing in certain cases? -- Billy Biggs [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Render mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/render
