But this means one lives without DRI/3D at all?
I know nothing of the significance of DRI vs. no DRI. I see glimpses of it in package names and logs, but about it and mesa and glx and glamor and yada I don't think I have any need to know what does what or how or why.
Of 3D, my eyes gather but two dimensions from a computer display panel, and see computer "3D" as but a way to annoy and make a PC generate more heat. If a gfxchip can output a high definition video in believable colors without stutter or drops, it's as good as I can appreciate. :-)
3D is basically shorthand for "OpenGL" and there are some games that use it (even Supertux can) as well as some UIs like, I think, Compiz. But you don't have to have it, of course. -- Yours, Mikhail Ramendik Unless explicitly stated, all opinions in my mail are my own and do not reflect the views of any organization -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
