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."

    So, don't ask me -- I'm more screwed than you.
