Ouch... the scanline renderer seems overkill:D I think that targeting from the i945 and later and the F/OSS drivers for ATI/NVIDIA should be enough. I think these are sufficiently performant for the kind of video processing we need. Also good luck installing proprietary drivers on non rpm or deb based systems... -- Lorenzo Marcantonio Logos Srl _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
