Qt graphics system by default

ximen · 2010-06-23 11:06:09

Hi, everyone. Does anybody know why Qt in extra isn't built with "raster" graphics system by default? Raster is much faster than native and stable enough, as I can see, but rebuilding Qt takes too long

Thnx.

Too many bugs with too many apps

Seriously? I'm using raster on several machines already for 2 months and I haven't seen any bugs. Also, afaik, raster is reference implementation of QPainter and being used as falback for native and opengl engines.

Enabling raster by default means very poor performance over the net (X forwarding with or without via ssh, freenx server and so on), that's why it is not the default choice.
This could help, anyway:

Very strange. IMHO fast localhost is more important than X forwarding. But anyway thanks for explanation.
