Maybe, maybe not. I inarguably do have hardware-accelerated
OpenGL--the many hours I've watched 1920x1080 programming on my flat
panel testifies to this--but the mythfrontend menu transitions using
the OpenGL renderer have always been slow, as in taking three or four
seconds. This has been true since upgrading my ATrpms-based system to
0.20 in September 2006. (See

Now, the odd thing is that twice I've seen the transition much faster,
like one second. I am pretty sure that in one of these cases this was
right after upgrading the Nvidia drivers to a new version. However,
the transitions reverted to their usual length after I restarted
mythfrontend. Odd, eh?
