We tried to use gradients to skin our application, but performance was so bad
we soon gave up (on i855GM).
Oprofile showed the majority of time was spent in memcpy.
It would be great if these problems could be resolved in the upcoming xserver
release.
Great to hear code has already been
Hi,
Do you think there is any chance of getting the gradient hooks into 1.6?
Would not be too bad if no driver is able to accalerate it for now,
but at least users would not need xserver 1.7 to get accalerated
gradients.
Distributors usually tend to update drivers, but they almost never
switch to
Hi,
I've experienced some performance problems with gradients when working
on the xrender/java2d backend.
A typical problematic case is when mask and desitation picture were in
VRAM, and a gradient is used as source.
As far as I understand this causes mask and dst to be moved out into

We just need to accelerate gradients, and is where any effort in
software should occur. It's on our schedule, but not for quite a while.
Setting up the X Server to allow drivers to request gradients was easy
last time I did it, though I've misplaced the branch it looks like.
Then someone
