This time Dennis Kibbe will be showing off XGL. Xgl is a new Xserver
architecture layered on top of OpenGL. Xgl can perform intricate graphical
operations--such as rendering antialiased fonts--noticeably faster than other
available Xservers that do not use OpenGL. The current implementation is Xglx
but the future implementation of Xgl will be Xegl.
More important than speed alone, Xgl accelerates complex composite operations,
making possible new stunning visual effects through on OpenGL-enhanced
composition/window managers like Compiz. These visual effects have broad
practical use, making Linux more accessible for the visually impaired, and
creating a workspace that is easier to comprehend and navigate for less
experienced users.
