2009-02-02 15:27:36 Bill Filler netbook-remix-launcher: statusexplanation We have plans to do the following which may help address this issue: make launcher auto-detect GL capabilities of system it is running on, and use minimal set in VM/Limited environments. This could possibly be enhanced to use a gconf key to trigger running with minimal 3D effects.

Patel netbook-remix-launcher: statusexplanation We have plans to do the following which may help address this issue: make launcher auto-detect GL capabilities of system it is running on, and use minimal set in VM/Limited environments. This could possibly be enhanced to use a gconf key to trigger running with minimal 3D effects. If glxinfo | grep "direct rendering" returns "No", or if /apps/netbook-launcher/force_low_graphics is set to TRUE in gconf then the "low graphics mode" of the launcher will be enabled. When in this mode: - No animations are run (everything is - Motion events are disabled (no hover effects) This increases the performance of the launcher when there is no hardware acceleration for 3D, or if your using fast-user-switching. However, as I mentioned before, this is not a magic fix for 2d support. It's still slow and will be until Mesa is updated to make software rendering quicker on Linux.
