X.org X11 Server Release 6.8

Posted by timothy on from the to-display-in-window dept.

kormoc writes "The developers of X.org have just release the long-desired version 6.8.0. This release brings real translucency and allows one to set values on different windows. Also, nifty drop shadows as well as XDamage, an extention that limits redrawing of windows to only the areas that were damaged. The Xcomposite extention is still not stable, but it works well for some people. Why not give it a shot?"

    I don't find this comment interesting, funny or even worthy of a mod point.

    There is a time to be funny, and a time to just shut your trap.
