from http://maccentral.macworld.com/news/0205/06.wwdckeynote.php:
"Quartz Extreme: Takes the compositing engine in Quartz, and accelerates it in graphics cards.
Combines 2D, 3D and video in one hardware pipeline via OpenGL. "Everything on the screen is
being drawn in hardware by OpenGL." Requires AGP 2x and 32MB of video RAM. "
Imagine the speed increase in this one! Especially for effects such as
transparency and window shadowing.
Are there any plans for a similar backend for GNUstep?
Cheers!
Magnus
