If the glitz backend + X11 backend + other backends are compiled in anyway, how would one select which is used by default or used in any case programmatically? Would there be a way to build Cairo with the backend and "blacklist" glitz such that it could be enabled by enterprising users? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I guess it does not matter at all if you do have a nice, fast processor to fall back on, but the stuff I work with every day and the products we're looking into making sometimes really don't have much to work with :( -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
