Quite possibly, although to be fair, most if this isn't X's fault - Nvidia and ATI have been pretty bad about supplying decent drivers for linux, so most sytems are running without and hardware accelleration. Here's a good look at it. http://dri.freedesktop.org/~jonsmirl/graphics.html X does have support for dropshadows and transparency and such through it's Composite extention, however without hardware acceleration dropshadows are a bit slugish and transparency is completely unusable. ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.
