Fedora's OpenGL Composite Desktop 392

Posted by CmdrTaco on Wednesday February 22, 2006 @01:28PM from the now-that-could-be-pretty dept.

An anonymous reader writes "First we had Novell's XGL and Compiz technology, which allows for OpenGL-based composite rendering on the Linux desktop. Now Fedora has created the Advanced Indirect GL X project, which aims for similar desktop effects but with a simpler implementation. Sure, at the end of the day it's just eye candy, but make no mistake - the Linux desktop is due for a massive shake-up!"
