I think that the latest Solaris X has Xrender. Moreover, I do not
think XRender causes performance pbs. When you have to render a png
with an alpha channel you have to know the "image" on which the png
will be applied. Without Xrender under certain condition this leads to
a XGetImage and a XPutImage and this can cause performance pbs. With
Xrender this is done internally in the server (no communication with
the server). So XRender speedup things even with an X driver without
special accel for it.
The following may help me:
- can you send me the output of xdpyinfo.
- do you have pbs with the icons/mini-icons provided by GNOME2
applications or/and when you load a png for using it in fvwm (e.g.,
MenuStyle * MenuFace a_png_image)?
Thanks, Olivier
