Next-Gen X Window Rendering For Linux
Bytal writes "Seth Nickel, a GNOME hacker, has an extensive treatment of the next generation Linux graphics technologies being worked on by Red Hat and others. For all those complaining about the current X-Windows/X.org server capabilities, things like 'Indiana Jones buttons that puff out smoothly animated clouds of smoke when you click on them,' 'Workspace switching effects so lavish they make Keynote jealous' and even the mundane 'Hardware accelerated PDF viewers' may be interesting."
Are you illiterate? It talks about developing a new X server using openGL.

Still waiting to hear what, if anything, that has to do with my post.
True about modding, there are many worse abuses. My big gripe is these posts that basically say "I don't care about this story" being modded up. If you don't care about the story, don't post. If you're moderating, and you see a post that amounts to not caring, moderate it as off-topic.
;) Or maybe we should moderate you -1 Liar.
In any case, you don't want a lightweight simple GUI that hits Linux's target market because you already have exactly what you want... right? You said so.
The point is, you don't have exactly what you want, nobody does. That's why people are out there writing software right now.
