RJ Just add some IOCTL's for hardware acceleration).
How much overhead does an ioctl involve ? (Rhethorical question.)

Kernel modules are not inherently faster. the reason directx (and
openGL) seem so fast on windows is because the manufacturers and MS
tweak the drivers for every last bit of performance. Plus they are
able to utilize interfaces that are not accessable in xfree86 due to IP
concerns. Some xfree86

Hi;
Some weeks back there was a discussion about a problem with some laptops
(acer 661LCi, dell 500m,..) were the Vid-BIOS does not return the panel
size and XFree can't use the the panel resolution of 1400x1050.Any idea
if this problem gets resolved before or with the next XFree86 release ?
PS
I doubt it unless intel releases the necessary programming information.

Of course not! ;-) I am as skeptical as you are regarding similar tests.

It does no such thing. It demonstrates that OpenGL on Linux is not slow,
but to run those applications you essentially shut down X. You've
demonstrated nothing about X's performance.
I am not sure I understand what you are saying. To the best of my
knowledge - I used the OpenGL drivers that
