Xegl uses OpenGL/EGL, it's not defined to use anything else. It is the mesa implementation of OpenGL/EGL that uses fbdev. Nvidia/ATI will likely provide OpenGL/EGL's that don't use fbdev. There is also Xglx which is the Xgl server that runs inside X.org using GLX. Xwgl and Xagl will be the windows and apple versions of Xgl whenever they get written. -- Jon Smirl [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
