XCB is only better in a few very specific cases that mostly are the areas WM and toolkit authors might obsess over for small gains in performance. So stick to Xlib - that's my advice. -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- Carsten Haitzler - ras...@rasterman.com _______________________________________________ xorg@lists.x.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: https://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: %(user_address)s
