Painting in DX mode or OpenGL?

[digman]

I found that for my system (older computer) that OpenGL is better for painting. I started having a jerky brush and lag jumps in the newer betas (win32 3.2.06 and 07 non-cuda) in one particular DX mode. No problems at all in OpenGL mode for painting.

Below, I pasted my testing results and I hope this might help anyone else if you are having problems. The bug report was also amended...

---------------------------------------------------------

I did more testing this morning and narrowed the problem down to a specific area.

1. Dx mode;

a. In maximize mode but not full screen the yellow curser gets jerky or lags then jumps.

b. In minimize mode (partial screen) no problems

c. In full screen mode no problems except the brush stroke lags behind a little.

2. OpenGl

a. I have "no" problems in all 3 modes and no stroke lagging.

Now the problems could be just my older video card for Dx mode. I sculpt faster(fps)in DX mode but now I see I will paint in OpenGL mode until I get a new computer this year...
