For really vintage hardware and applications choosing the last xorg-server with XAA might make sense, so one can get this solid lines, fills, and such accelerated, ..?</div><div><br></div><div>Keep up the good work,</div><div>maybe I find some spare time to contribute S3/Virge or 3dfx fixes another day ;-)</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>René</div><br><div apple-content-edited="true">
