Xgl/Compiz in Mandriva 2007 Free
Xgl is a hardware accelerated X-server created by Novell. Thanks to the abilities of modern graphics cards, it uses three-dimensional rendering, which opens up a whole new bunch of possibilities for modern computer desktops.
Xgl alone would not be very useful if there weren’t any window managers that could take advantage of its features. Compiz — the first compositing window manager is a very important part of Xgl technology. Its rival is Beryl, a Compiz fork which focuses on even more desktop effects, sacrificing some stability. The two managers are different products that have separate configurations. We are going to concentrate on Xgl and Compiz in this article from now on.
