[Bug 217908] Re: Pixellated Images in Firefox/Opera due to incorrect EXTEND_PAD implementation in several video drivers

[Chris Wilson]

I'm sorry I haven't take the time to fully review the cairo patch, but I
just want you to be aware of the work Eric Anholt did a couple of years
ago to support the extend repeat modes and server-side gradients (but we
failed to merge in a timely manner):
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~anholt/cairo/log/?h=server-gradients

If you care to implement something along those lines, then I will be
happy to merge it into upstream post-1.10 (which should give us a while
to check the behaviour on non-Ubuntu systems). And also provide the
circumstances where implementing h/w accelerated gradients becomes
worthwhile. I suspect that even with s/w fallbacks switching to XRender
gradients should be a performance win due to reduced transport costs and
potentially improved pixmap allocation.
