(I mean, come on, > Expose even starts with an E already... :-)) read hisam's response. he got it pretty correct. to do this right u will need xcomposite +xdamage support. that's not happening until e18 due to them being unstable, buggy and of limited use without xrender being decently accelerated. i have (mental) plans for doing this in e18, but for e17 its still getting all the basics done WITHOUT fancy new extensions :) -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) [EMAIL PROTECTED] 裸好多 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tokyo, Japan (東京 日本) ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
