Doesn't Xv support that? > and may be not in shared but regular memory, does it help? Ideally, the texture engine would directly use the data from the bt. Alas, we don't live in an ideal world, so that may not be possible. ;) In particular, the texture engine may not grok the format of the bt data. > still what about using DRI to firstly DMA the texture to i810 and then using > opengl paths to manipulate it there? OpenGL is a client API so I doubt the driver can use it. Not to mention it would be rather gross overkill. :) -- Earthling Michel D�nzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
