Awesome! Now get the distros to pick this up and turn off CONFIG_VT! :) Ville's comment about a texture atlas is a good one, if nothing else I think it should improve cache behavior. But it may be better to just do the font rendering with the CPU anyway (though cairo-gl is supposedly getting better), and leave the GL for transition effects and such. -- Jesse Barnes, Intel Open Source Technology Center
