Qt4.5 raster and KDE 4.2svn

Tue Feb 10, 2009 11:11 am
Hello,

I've updated qt-copy to 4.5rc1, compiled with `-graphicssystem raster` and recompiled whole KDE4.2svn with it

+ no signs of Plasma unstability announced in other places
+ finally it is on par with 3.5 in terms of speed, some apps are finally working - especially those SVG based, previously KDiamond was totally unresponsive

- no OpenGL goodies

Here are my 2 questions:

1. Any possible other downsides I didn't notice so far (I use it for 2 days).

2. Without OpenGL there are no window lists at all. There is global Alt+Tab list but this is lacking in many ways comparing to old Window list from KDE3; is there any no OpenGL window list alternative I didn't find?

TIA

Because KWin requires the X11 rendering system. When using "raster" KWin can no longer access the window pixmaps on the X server and thus cannot send them to OpenGL.

Well, I know why it happens and have no grievances about that. I am just looking for some replacement.
