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?"

    It was flamebait, as you clearly haven't understood the principle that operating system component releases are different to operating system releases. I haven't had to tweak any X configuration file for a long time now, thanks to the Red Hat/Fedora config tools. I have no doubt that when I upgrade to FC3 this will all be set up automatically. That's what a distribution does, right?
