That's not a catch. That's what Gallium was designed to do. You're picturing something like this, I think: Windowing system -> OpenGL windowing system plugin -> kernel But you can do this: Windowing system -> Galliumized windowing system plugin -> kernel (I'm assuming that you already have a rendering plugin system so you can support different video cards in userspace.) If you break down this Galliumized plugin, it would consist of: Syllable state tracker + Syllable winsys + pipes (softpipe, i915, etc.) So the state tracker interfaces with windowing system, the winsys interfaces with kernel, and everything just works. Of course, I know next to nothing about Syllable. ~ C. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list Dri-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
