Epic Win in the form of 64Bit Gentoo Linux.
Thanks to my good friend Beryl.

same guy here, lulz. I'm a bit drunk, sorry. But yes, Ubuntu does fail, and yes, Beryl does suck at coding. Sorry, woops. lol.

XGL is 3D-accelerated eye-candy. It is a bit too much of a gimmick at the moment.

It is amazing, though, that this free software is so far ahead of Microsofts efforts.

holy shit linkz to how you can get xgl working with duel monitor setup THX PLOX.

wow fucking fail for saying XGL is win and that Beryl is shit.

Why would you say that Beryl is shit for code when XGL is an ugly hack that everyone agrees on is an UGLY hack? AIGLX is far superior as it is built into X and not layered on top.


fucking idiot.

Yeah and kernel modules are shit because they're layered on top of the kernel instead of built in

oh wait you completely misunderstood the concept of modular software

hey, I r original poster.
new nVidia drivers are the one true way,
as XGL is built into them, along with
hardware acceleration. Dual monitor is
possible with the nVidia drivers.

all of them are decent, but none of them
are as fast as nVidia XGL.
Beryl is not shitty coding, if you use the
subversion build ;)
Make an effort and get the SVN build, it's
much more worth it.

NVidia drivers are good. However, I think Mesa is pretty awsome too. They got opensource ATI drivers supporting r200 and r300 (Radeon 9xxx) very well new. Airlied is working very hard on opensource nvidia drivers as well, and I wish be st luck to him (google to checkout his blog).

oh goddamn.

>>how do i failed argument?
XGL is not a module. its moar like a big wool blanket thrown over X.

in terms of things that can be compared:
AIGLX > XGL
beryl > compiz

lol whut.


Read the mailing lists. Everyone pretty well agrees that XGL is an ugly hack you should not use if you can avoid it. Christ it is even in the Beryl wiki!!

Proof:

Run XGL and you'll see a process in top called xgl-xserver or xgl-server

run AiGLX and there is not separate process called aiglx-server running because it is the nicer non-hackish version that is built into X

Anyone tried Project Looking Glass? http://www.sun.com/software/looking_glass/
I tried it earlier but it was lagging too much.

Um... Yeah.

You came here because /g/ shunned you.

Why?

While Linux is full of little gems...

...The community at large is too fucking directionless to do anything useful with it.

We have more direction and purpose than Microsoft.
Each distribution serves a purpose.

Gentoo is for people with advanced knowledge who want to do things themselves, and profit from a highly optimized system.
Ubuntu is for people who are converting / want something easy to use.

It may not have a defined direction, but if there
is something out there you want to do, I guarantee
there are tools and bindings to help you accomplish it.

The point of Gentoo is to get exactly what you want and nothing more. It has very little to do with the optimizations, where the actual benefits over an install using prebuilt x686 packages are impercetible. If you're running 64bit, even less so.

XGL may be evil, but it is necessary. If you have an ATI card and want to play. This is where linux continues to fail, hardware compatibility.

That is the vendors fault of course.

Are there any Linux-related hi-res images?

the free drivers for old ati's works flawlessly.
