That is absolutely awesome. I dropped the ball on it for a few reasons (the
main being that i simply have too much to do and couldn't work on it).
Do you have any kind of roadmap or ideas about what you want to do with it?
I had some technical issues not directly related to glucose that I never got
to solving and I wanted to tackle those first (I think I'll send a separate
email about that in a bit).
One thing I wasn't 100% convinced of was how well will it perform when going
through whole OpenGL stack when doing simple (and small) blits or the like.
It's not that I couldn't sleep because of it at night (I don't sleep for
other reasons) but I was contemplating using DRI directly in those cases.
