  Thanks, I was under the impression we needed to enable smooth filtering, but to me the output always looked the same.

That's a bit lazy.

Always using GL_LINEAR AFAIK is fine, but always generating mipmaps has a cost.

We should be able to do some sort of

if (windowPixmap->surface()->scale() != output->scale())

We also probably only want to generate mipmaps if the contents have changed.

GLTexture has a dirty() flag which signifes this.
