The lack of direct rendering in XGL is expected - this is a limitation of the current infrastructure. On the other hand, even though you don't have direct rendering you do have 3d acceleration - it just needs to go through the XGL server, so is (slightly) slower.
Some (broken) programs equate direct rendering with 3d acceleration, and fail to start if direct-rendering is not available (wine and cedaga are notable examples). There's nothing that can reasonably be done in Xgl to fix these programs, and the Wine developers are not interested in fixing Wine. What, exactly, is 'trashed' with OpenArena? This should work, unless it demands direct rendering. Fortunately, drivers have improved since Feisty and Gutsy, and now very few people need Xgl to get Desktop Effects working. In Hardy (8.04), the fglrx drivers support all the necessary extensions without using XGL. -- XGL Display Problems https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/139787 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
