So would that be the standard E17 comp module, the extras comp-scale module, or one of the others? Also, would they interfere with 3D applications? I use a 3D virtual world viewer all the time, and develop them. I've not used composite yet since I thought they used OpenGL, and might interfere. Guess I'll have to bite that bullet. lol -- A big old stinking pile of genius that no one wants coz there are too many silver coated monkeys in the world. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ enlightenment-users mailing list enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users
