If its a pixmap, you can read it back using XGetImage or its SHM variation. However keep in mind this is slow and suboptimal. > .

Hmm, XRender is just an API for graphics rendering, it doesn't have to do a lot with composition managers, except that some of them use XRender for blending their pixmaps together. - Clemens _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
