"3D in Linux, or X more specifically is sorely needed. We have OPenGL, and this should be leveraged much like Apple does with OSX. I think all the building blocks are there."

I couldn't agree more. This would be a great thing for Linux and the BSDs to have, and it pains me that there is not more emphasis on it.
