X11, Window Managers The Beryl project has won a lot of press time so far with its impressive tricks -- even more than its slower-evolving daddy, Compiz. There are several lose ends to Beryl's core engine and incompatibilities with existing applications or technologies. However, something that really put off a lot of people when they try Beryl is its dreadful settings manager.

We need to congratulate people who are working so hard in Compiz, Beryl and X.org development (specifically in AIGLX native support). Months ago I can't imagine my notebook with a Pentium Celeron proccessor (1.0GHz), 256MB of RAM and a simple i915 intel graphic mobile card running that kind of desktop effects so good. Its really fantastic.

I'm wondering if we will see these efects running well on yet more low costs video adpaters.

I have to agree with you. It is amazing how well Compiz works now. I never would have thought that linux would have more bling potential than Vista but it appears this is so.
