Oh like that. Ok Ok.. :) I have driver support for my GPU.. Do you have a working example with openGL backed.?? Or just please help me get started with writing the most simplest of applications with cairo and openGL backend. :) :) Thanks, Guhan <div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Nov 19, 2010 at 6:18 PM, Alexandros Frantzis <<a href="mailto:alexandros.frantzis@linaro.org">alexandros.frantzis@linaro.org</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"><div class="im">On Fri, Nov 19, 2010 at 06:04:05PM +0530, guhan senthilkumar wrote: > Thanks a lot.Hey but what do you mean by "if your OpenGL is HW accelerated > then the drawing will be too??" .
