Can Compiz use anti-aliasing?

Asked by Bogdan Butnaru

Hi! I just started using Compiz (Ubuntu Feisty on an Intel card), and I was wondering if there is a way to use full-screen anti-aliasing with it. I know it would hog even more resources, but some things (e.g., the window borders) look unpleasantly pixelated when the window bends.

What model of card is it?

Do you know if the card supports FSAA?

I suspect this might be useful rather than implementing it in Compiz.

:-D)D

I didn't even think of checking if my board supported anti-aliasing. I have a "Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller" (and no idea how to figure out which one of them), and it turns out it doesn't mention anti-aliasing support anywhere. (I expect it would have if it did.)

Oh, well. I don't expect Compiz to make-up its own anti-aliasing algorithms. It could fix a few things, but it's too complicated to be worth it.

Thanks!
