[clutter] Clutter first impressions

HI All,

I recently stumbled across Clutter on Neil Patel's blog and thought I'd give
it a quick once over. After some initial stumbles, I got it working and from
the example code I've looked at so far its very impressive. Just a couple of
comments / questions though:

1) Should Clutter work with an Intel graphics adaptor? I first tried this on
my laptop and although its a good machine (Core Duo etc) its only got an
Intel card. All the demo's ran extremely poorly (ie < 1 FPS) and i thought
that there was actually a problem with how I'd compiled everything. This
same machine is able to run things such as Beryl without a problem so I'd be
very surprised if it doesn't have the hardware grunt for simple demos.

2) After the disapointing results on the laptop I tried on a desktop machine
with an Nvidia 6200. This ran much better for the examples however the more
advanced toys such as opt and fluttr died immediately with an error saying
that OpenGL 1.2 or greater is required. This machine is using a fairly new
version of the NVidia drivers (v.9631) so I'm confident OpenGL is setup and
working. I've attached a glxinfo dump if its any help.

3) Any chance of a Clutter forum or somewhere to bulk view the mailing list
archives? Coming from an open source background its been drummed into me to
read every forum / mailing list you can find before posting a question.
Unfortunately there's not much out there for Clutter at the moment and I
always hate asking questions that make me look dumb :)

Anyway, keep up the great work. Clutter is the type of project that could do
HUGE things if it gets off the ground!

-Josh
