But why remove something from the server that is optional anyway. Shouldn't X users be able to take risks if they want to rather than doing things the safe way all the time. 2 applications that I use a lot run the quickest using DGA so I would loose this speed if DGA is removed. The apps can use Open GL but there are some compatibility problems so DGA is still the best. So what are users like me supposed to do?
