Re: driver level sub-pixel rendering?

[jkheit]

Yes. But not only for text, for video and just about anything blasted onto the screen.  I think the Nvidia stuff I put on might do that for everything that hits the LCD. Basically the hardware would give you a resolution boost for anything that can keep partial pixel measurements internally. Do any of the Linux drivers support this type of thing? Thanks.

(ie using the RGB subpixels to get more {usually horizontal} resolution in text rendering). Sounds like something you could do with a pixel shader perhaps. Straight alpha-blending with the RENDER extension is already accelerated on most hardware supported by DRI isn't it?
