[Digikam-devel] OpenGL support?

[Gilles Caulier]

No idea. the only parts witch use OpenGL are 2 kipi-plugins (slideshow
and imageviewer). But for both opengl is only intialized when plugins
are started.

... or perhaps something happen in Qt core when opengl is used...

Other question is about marble. I don't know if opengl is used here.
