Subject: Does Plan 9 use graphics hardware
Date: Tue, 12 Sep 1995 17:33:48 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <19950912213348.c5ZUp5-6eZhzAHdR745HTS9OAl1Z8cv81BOhRS9u334@z> (raw)

	Does Plan 9 use hardware graphics accelerators?  If not, does the design
	allow efficient use of graphics accelerator hardware or does it require
	a dumb frame buffer?
	-- 
	    John Carr (jfc@mit.edu)

at present the accelerator hardware is not used, other than a hardware cursor
on those cards that support it.
