Unless things have changed massively in the last 3-4 years, you almost |
| 25 |
certainly were using xv without really knowing about it. With just 'x11', |
| 26 |
you're forced into using software scaling instead of hardware scaling, which |
| 27 |
massively slows things down. And hardware scaling has been a feature of |
| 28 |
essentially every video card since, I dunno, 1994 or earlier? And the xv |
| 29 |
extension has been available since 1991... |
