I will start on it from now on, but I have a small question. is indirect rendering use 3D accelarator for 3D operation or it is all software? for example glxgear use GLX, is that mean it use indirect rendering? APP ---> GLX (libglx) ----> DRI ---> Hardware. (indirect rendering) APP ---> DRI (libGL) ----> Hardware. (direct rendering) is this schema correct? -- Amir Bukhari <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.
