It is very nice. I am glad to hear this! Thanks again to Jordan for his excellent article. Some additional points: 1. The new server has some additonal 2D accelerations too! From the riva-x-glx.faq document: Q. What are the differences in the 2D portion of the X server from the 3.3.3.1 version? A. More 2D acceleration has been added. Specifically stippled pattern fills; the logout screen in KDE was driving me crazy! The glyph rendering routines have all been hooked and accelerated at a high level. Some bugs in the video clock routines have been fixed (some people mentioned mode switches hanging - hopefully fixed). The X server now recognizes all TNT and TNT2 variants. 2. It looks like it has one 2d visual bug. I use Emacs 20.3.1 from the ports collection and here the screen update leaves part of the screen uncleaned - a horizontal line remains. (Just use the typical 2 tiled Emacs screen and then C-x 1 one window to full size, watch part of the separation middle bar to remain on the screen - C-l to refresh) I saw something different when browsing through my Netscape navigator bookmarks. Again a horizontal line remained. 3. The present port is not perfect yet: - It does not check if the XFree86 and Mesa stuff has been removed from the system - it is likely not to clean everything it put on the system - it should have some additional words of guidance, as the 3d acceleration works under specific settings only. Please read riva-x-glx.faq! - package building has not tested at all I will try to improve this during the next two weeks. At least it should clean properly at the time XFree86 4 arrives and we want to get rid of this stuff. :) Regards, Marc To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
