Given enough time, most code will be open source. I do not know how long that will take and I do not understand the problem with Opera. The Opera web site states that it does not need qt for AA anymore, but that's not the case - at least on Red Hat 8.0. The fact that it works great on SuSE 8.0 confuses me. The web site makes mention that the kernel and qt have to be compiled to make use of AA. If that is true, it might be an integration issue, but I have no way of knowing that. _______________________________________________ Render mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/render
