KMS Page-Flipping Ioctl Ready For Linux 2.6.32

[7oby]

Kristian had also promised a backend for GTK

Is it an backend which makes more use of XRender such as QT4?

It's open source. If you want something - help people out

some things are not as simple as "hello world"

and require immense knowledge in order to be implemented

this is something i (and million other OS users) can not do sadly

P.S. I would expect people to start working on the GTK+ backend as soon as wayland and eagle get in sync with each other. And that is not possible without the page-flipping ioctl. So it's probably going to be after kernel 2.32 is out.

Kristian had also promised a backend for GTK but that doesnt seem to be a priority

Now that this work is out of the way, Kristian Eagle+KMS back-end for Clutter

Who's Kristian Eagle?
