[SWLUG] Xgl and Official Hellos

[Andy Dixon]

Hello everyone..

Firstly, I just want to introduce myself.
I currently live in England, in Malvern, but I am hoping to be moving 
shortly towards Swansea - Hopefully into the Gower (depending on 
Broadband) once fincances are sorted out. I currently work at a private 
school providing technical support but mainly programming PHP, Perl and 
REALbasic. I am also hellbent on replacing all the Windows servers with 
Debian replacements (for Active Directory / RADIUS) and geeking at the 
BSD side of Mac Servers.

I am wondering if anyone has played with Xgl - the OpenGL port of X. I 
have tried to install it on my laptop, but it seems that the graphics 
adapter (some naff ATI Rage Mobility chipset) does not seem to support 
OpenGL in Linux - the fglrx module does not load.
II have seen clips of the new eye candy of which windows are jelly-like 
and have all kinds of pretty different functions.

Has anyone managed to get it working?


Andy
