Running XGL finally
I’m a happy XGL running bastard, enjoying all the OpenGL accelerated X eyecandy, that compiz plugins offer me.
It’s not easy to get XGL running when there’s no binary packages available for your distro, it really isn’t. I had to compile a whole bunch of stuff, which was “so much fun”… see the post below. But it’s all good now.
It runs very smooth, I didn’t experienced any crash or lock up so far. I have few issues though: video only works with x11(and that means no full screen or screen resizing available), 3D games don’t work either and the alt tab partly works, it doesn’t show the pictures of apps open, just a blank white space. But I’m sure I’ll fix these minor annoyances in no time.
I’ll probably write a post on how I did it, if I’ll have time and if any Fedora hacker will be interested.
