Benjamin Flaming:
"People without working hardware acceleration" includes anyone using more
than one monitor. X refuses to allow hardware acceleration with Xinerama.
Since multiple monitors are central to my working style (and that of many
recording studios), using OpenGL could have serious drawbacks.
Programs where it makes sense using two or more monitors are in my opinion
seriously crippled. Its about 2.3 million times faster (rough guess) to
press a key (to switch to another view) than to turn your head. In
addition, you can get wiplash (or something similar) by turning your head
too much. Please explan why I'm wrong, if I am.
