[cairo] nearest neighborhood or bilinear interpolation

[Carlos Eduardo Rodrigues Diógenes]

Hello Bill,

Thanks for the examples. I totally agree with your arguments!

Now, to end the doubts that I have for now, where these errors are
located? Is the Xrender implementation wrong? Is the video driver
implementation wrong?

Thanks in advance,
Carlos.
