You found an app that uses it? Impressive. > However, the only way to access them is via the private key for dbe, > and its not exported.

Not so much out of malice as neglect, the extension is not widely used and none of the open (or closed!) drivers attempts to support it specially. I wouldn't object to a patch, although I'd at least like to see it done with accessor functions that return the window/screen private pointer rather than by exporting the private keys. Ideally we'd do what the GLX spec says and unify the view of "the back buffer" across extensions, which I guess could include DRI3 at this point. - ajax _______________________________________________ xorg@lists.x.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: %(user_address)s
