There are a bunch of opengl apps (celestia, google earth, stellarium) that I'd want to use but do not play nice with beryl using opengl (e.g. stellarium has unreadable fonts). So I googled a bit and I found that you can bypass that simply by launching apps on another X server using xinit (xinit /usr/bin/stellarium -- :1). But if I do that the new xserver has not direct rendering (checked with glxinfo). Where can the problem be? m. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
