[AD] DGA depricated?

[ Thread Index | Date Index | More lists.liballeg.org/allegro-developers Archives ]


I just came across the following piece of information on the XFree86 
homepage:

"Most of the reasons for the XFree86-DGA extension's existence are now  
better served in other ways. Further development of this extension is not 
expected, and it may be deprecated in a future release. The features that 
continue to be useful will either be provided through other existing 
mechanisms, or through an extension that address those needs more 
specifically."

Does anyone know what these "other ways" are? OpenGL?
If this is so, I think replacing the DGA driver, or at least getting an 
alternative (other than plain X11) would be a good idea.
