I think I'm > seeing a pattern here.... most linux 3d drivers are pretty poor, nvidia's being the golden best example of stability and correctness - even they make some booboos. reality is they do better as they have a much wider base of software to test them with - the same driver core is there on windows, linux and bsd. not so with the mesa open drivers. as such evas's gl code tends to do things by reading the gl spec - and in many cases devs have found that gl libs just don't live up to the spec. sungwoo recently managed to get some nice results to that effect on commercial grade drivers where evas is bringing out the driver bugs. fglrx imho are by far the poorest drivers of them all and i will never touch them again. the day i found that compositing only worked with fglrcx if you named your process "compiz" was the day i put those piles of dung into the crapper where they belong. -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) ras...@rasterman.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try before you buy = See our experts in action!
