"it depends". e17 itself (the wm) ONLY allows software-x11. it's the only reliable engine that has all the features needed for e in general. e17's compositor module (comp) allows a choice between gl and software. gl is only a good choice if you have good driver support and a good gpu. here it works fine on my nvidia drviers and cards and intel gm45 laptop. radeon is broken last i checked (i suspect drive3r bugs), and fglrx works reliably only if you disable texture-from-pixmap. so opengl (for compositing) really depends if your hw and driver are "up to it". this is fine for oem's who can ensure this is the case (it all works fine on opengl-es2 too on embedded soc's - nvidia tegra2 worked out of the box with gl+texture from pixmap for compositing and client apps in x11. works fine on the s5pc110 soc's i have here too - but the oem (samsung) has ensured the drivers are solid. yes - i work there). -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What happens now with your Lotus Notes apps - do you make another costly upgrade, or settle for being marooned without product support?
