[ REQ 5038]: geomview users & Sun XGL

["Stuart Levy" <slevy>]

OK, you're on the list!

Adapting for XGL sounds interesting, at least if you're going to do the work.
We'd tried to do that in the distant past, but found that XGL was
essentially useless on normal hardware (GX accelerators) since geomview
required Z-buffering and XGL couldn't use the accelerator when that was
enabled.  Maybe if you've got a ZX accelerator, it would actually be helpful.
