To specify, you will need you system to support the GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap extension( glxinfo | grep GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap ). You also need either a AIGLX enabled X.Org server, or nvidia's|ATI's proprietary blob, both with a card that supports that particular extension. On the matter of XGL, quoting http://principe.homelinux.net/ ( a good read BTW ) "Xgl is [a] new X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL: it doesn't need X drivers anymore, but just OpenGL drivers for all its rendering. Current implementation of Xgl is Xglx. It's just an "hack" to see what Xgl is capable of." Read the last sentence of that quote at least twice. I would argue that running E17( remember, it's pre-pre alpha ) on top of an X server with features so immature( and a "hack" if it's XGL ), is pretty much asking for it. Patience is a virtue, wait for this technology to mature before you jump the GLX wagon. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
