[3ddesktop-dev] Re: 3ddesktop and Ati

I have flipscreen3D, I did not have an optio to grab desktop and it shows a TV 
screen insde or somehting when it floats around.  Seems to work fine.  I get 
same screen in flipscreen3D in my home PC and 3D-Desktop works there.  I have 
same imlib2 package installed as on my home PC.  only difference is home uses 
nvidia card.  any other things I can look at?  Thanks.

installed? That one does a
capture of the screen, and puts it onto a GL plane just like 3ddesktop
does.. I think it actually may have been what he started with when he
wrote 3ddesktop.. 

Does flipscreen3d work with the advanced -> grab desktop image option
turned on?

If it doesn't, then I would suspect that there's something funky with
imlib2 or something else relating to the grab of the desktop.. If it
does, then I think I'm clueless and you'll have to find someone smarter
to figure this one out.. ;)
