Done, sorry for the mixup[ BTW - this discussion really should be on gtk-devel-list since it is about modificatins to GTK+ ]
True, but qt/kde seems to handle this transparently.Havoc Pennington <hp redhat com> writes: > On Mon, Dec 23, 2002 at 10:31:36AM -0500, btouchet wrote: > > Unfortunately i have pretty much exhausted the time i could use to take > > a look at this, what i would like to know is how hard would it be to get > > this working correctly?

Probably not really feasible, even though several high-end consumer cards now support 10-10-10 ... there just is no good reason to use this, if all your source images are 8-bit.
I had already seen some of this when i was going through the code. Good to know whereFixing up GDK for 10-10-10 should be straightforward; aside from perhaps a few tweaks in gdkvisual-x11.c, all you should need to change is gdkrgb.c and gdkpixbuf-drawable.c. In fact, both of these have slow fallbacks for unsupported depths, so if they aren't working at all, it may well just be a matter of bug fixing. (But you probably want to add special-casing, for speed.)
That i haven't had a chance to look at yet (render/xft). I will try to find some time after the holidays to go through this.The bigger program is going to be the RENDER extension in XFree86; you might be able to get a quick hack going easily where it just ignored the low bits, but making it actually handle 10-10-10 colors is going to be harder, since the code makes a lot of use of passing around RGBA color components packed into a 32-bit word. Also, I'm not sure RENDER has a good definition of the correct arithmetic for depths > 8 yet. If the RENDER extension isn't advertised, then the code that needs fixing to get antialiased fonts drawing is in the Xft library.
