Re: QUARTZ: Patch 2 - Move blitting operation to message thread and handle WM_PAINT

[Chris Robinson]

I have no direct comment on the patch (it's not really my area), but there's 
something I'd like to bring up.

I'm all for changing the video renderer away from GDI, however I think it'd be 
better to move it to Direct3D or WGL instead of DDraw. I'm quite sure native 
quartz uses Direct3D when available, given that DDraw has been deprecated 
ever since DX7. Also, using native quartz's video renderer causes wined3d 
debug output for me, and as Stefan says, DDraw currently defaults to GDI so 
it wouldn't have come from that.
