SiMoNsAyS Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Xgl is an X server architecture, started by David Reveman, layered on top of OpenGL via glitz. Nowadays, most PCs are shipped with a 3D graphics card (foremostly from NVIDIA or ATI Technologies) and Xgl allows the X server to take advantage of its 3D processing power, assuming suitable drivers are available.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XglOfficial PageSo now you're wondering... what it really can do!

harunaksoy Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I have seen this before and I have to admit that it looks really cool, but it's so **** hard to install it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EchoNoise Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 True that it might be a bit difficult to setup, I had it running but it took up too many resources, and my graphics card couldn't handle the spinning desktop feature for some odd reason...But other than that, its pretty good DENY APPLE... haha... erm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigeratiPrime Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 my guess is it will have the eye candy of vista using half the ram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DigeratiPrime Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 do you know if it will be enabled on by default? That might be going a little too fast, as xgl is rather new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
