Re: [Syllable-developer] Cairo + AppServer == TRUE

[<dem...@ne...>]

This helps me out greatly.? Glitz started out as a GL backend to Cairo.? Cairo is integrated & becomes the drawing medium for the Appserver, then this falls right in line with the original setup that I presented.? Eventually, all that would be needed is to port Glitz to integrate it all with the GL drawing layer....instant hardware GL for everybody --in theory.

Nice.

You said that Cairo is not accelerated, but I assume it is theoretically
possible to accelerate it? Could we not create a Cairo backend that sits
on top of the existing Layer/DisplayDriver code to provide accelerated
drawing methods where available? We could then "rewire" the existing
View drawing methods to call the Cairo drawing code, which in turn would
be accelerated just as they were before.

The advantage is that there would be no "special case" of having to
choose to use Cairo, although the disadvantage is that all drawing must
then go via. Cairo.
