I have not even got to the unichrome source yet. scaling of a small mpeg to 1024x768 with 11% processor usage. Way cool. An interesting anomoly is that unclutter flickers the cursor if the window changes. I did not see this in 4.3. running sawfish instead of no wm fixes that issue. Now for the real question. How big a deal is it to build a rpm package for the 4.4 code base? I have never packaged something as large as XFree86 and really need this to be part of a kickstart installation. I am downloading the 4.3 srpm now to take a look at it. Tips appreciated and thanks for the pointer to 4.4 Bret _______________________________________________ xfree86-list mailing list xfree86-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/xfree86-list IRC: #xfree86 on irc.redhat.com
