Xgl
I’ve managed to get Xgl to work! (Special thanks to DavidK-64 for A: telling me about Xgl It’s really amazing, you just got to see for yourself to get the real impression. The compiz manager features Wobbling windows, transparancy, a new “switcher” and a whole lot more. I’m truly speachless. This is the best eye-candy I’ve ever experienced. Even though I’m no fan of windows, It will be interresting to see how Vista’s 3D effects will be, compared to Xgl+compiz… The basic install-steps are really quite basic – at least in ubuntu with nvidia:
- Install Xgl and compiz* packages
- Start Xgl and xterm
- su – <username>
- Start compiz + gnome
- Run gconf-editor and configure the plugins
