[konsole] [Bug 411579] GPU accelerated terminal

--- Comment #1 from tcanabrava at kde.org ---
Yes, massive.
basically we would need to rewrite the file TerminalDisplay.cpp - that
takes care of painting everything on the screen.
That file is huge, and it uses many things within Qt to make it easier -
things that don't exist in the OpenGL world.

If you want to try - if you have any knowledge in OpenGL, please give it a
try. We need more people trying to touch code.
