  GEM/DRI2 Shaping Up in Ubuntu Jaunty Feb 6, 2009 - klange  
  Things are coming along nicely after months of complaining (mostly by me!) for GEM and DRI2 in Ubuntu Jaunty.

And here's the video - ignore the poor performance, obviously I'm using a screen recorder.

Obviously, it still has that classic colormap transparency bug (which was there in the original DRI2 a year ago), but it works nicely with barely any crashing. It's also just as speedy as, if not faster than, EXA. Scrolling in Firefox is great!

Here are some more UXA transparency bug pics:

Firefox (on cube, normally)
CCSM (view this on a non-white background for a cool side-effect!)
