However, I recommend hacking in libz first, making it work with gzip, and staert porting it to the kernel next step. Debugging and benchmarking in userspace is *so* much easier. Ah, I tried it. Unfortunately the zlib in the kernel is a heavily modified zlib and I was not able to compile it

I have two questions: 1. Do you think you could implement realtime wireframes at 400x300? What about higher resolution? This would be enough to provide a preview for a 3D modeler. 3D Studio Max and similar tools only showed wireframes until you asked for a render, which could take several
