Let's assume a compositing window manager written to the GL API with full acceleration. Could the windows with xlib apps use software rendering to a buffer in AGP space? This would provide full memory bandwidth to the software renderer. When compositing time comes around the GPU would just pick up the window using the AGP port. Newer apps written to the GL API (or using a library like QT/gnome ported to GL) would get assigned buffers in VRAM and get full acceleration. ===== Jon Smirl jonsmirl-/[email protected] __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
