Using the GPU for drawing rather then the CPU is not wasting but saving power. The GPU is (surprise surprise) way more efficient at tasks like those. Pretty much any smartphone or tablet UI (those are power constrained devices) use a GL (or some other hardware accelerated) "desktop". So no using GL == wasting power is simply not true. (And if it really is something is broken and needs to be fixed). -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
