Xorg and Desktop Eyecandy

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the sounds-delicious-to-me dept.

BonoLeBonobo writes "Xorg is going to include a new acceleration architecture which will help desktops to have better eye-candy effects thanks to a better XRender, thus composite, acceleration. Developped by Zack Rusin, a KDE and Qt developper, this new feature should be present in Xorg in September. Porting the existing drivers to this new acceleration architecture should be easy."

    Double dandy.
    Even so,
    No girls handy.
    Fix your face,
    Reveal you're randy.

    You will be accelerated. Resistance is futile.
