Then you have free choice between llvmpipe or just softpipe (can be chosen at runtime), or even classic swrast. > More importantly, though, the issue with direct rendering is that I need > to be able to connect to an X server. Not sure what you mean by that. If you mean direct rendering requires a DRI capable X server, that's not true at least for a standalone software rasterizer libGL. It should work fine with Xvfb or any other X server, using any kind of display connection. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://www.vmware.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer _______________________________________________ mesa-dev mailing list mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev
