Exatly, so what's the problem??
The new program won't do that. However the older X server will so this is
a non-issue. We are 'hopefully' talking about DRI enabeled systems,
making them better than Longhorn.
For non 3d(DRI) systems I would hope that Mesa would be able to use there
2d parts to help the software renderer work faster. This work is needing
tobe done, it would speed up ALL OpenGL apps for these older systems, with
or with-out Joe's work(The DirectFB replacement).
