Just to illustrate how painful even something "simple" like this is, I've spent most of the day trying to work out why opengl doesn't work as a backfill option. It interacts badly with the native distro feature filtering for a couple of reasons. I've sent out a couple of patches now to fix it. I could have hacked around it in other ways but fixing things to work as they should and as people would expect them too seemed to be a good idea. It does show how much work does go into even 'simple' sounding things like this though. I'll run more tests and see if there are other issues arising. Cheers, Richard
